Possibly not, Mike. I recall a post in one of the UK forums wherein a member who is also an employee of a larger retail operation or distributorship was posting on his visit to the Jupiter factory.... IN CHINA!
Articles from the 2001/2002 Catalogue If you read about the visit you'll see that the band instrument component factory is in Tianjin... 90 miles SE of Beijing...while the assembly is in Taiwan.
This also comes from their webpage:
