Jupiter brass has had some serious valve problems over the last few years. They play fantastically. You want to check the valves thoroughly. Pull them out and see if they have a brownish green discoloration. The nickel valves are much better than the monel valves. The new horns are coming out with stainless steel valves. I hope it cures their troubles.
