Re: Jupiter Flugelhorn

A couple of years ago I went on a fluegel search. I played Blessings, Yamahas, Bachs, Cousenons, and Jupiters. The Blessing with a copper bell played nice, but the valves felt really cheap. The Jupiter 846RL was an awesome horn. In the end I decided to get the valves in my Olds L-12 redone by Anderson instead of getting a new horn. But if I had gone for a new horn, it would have been the Jupiter 846RL
