Fun in a Small Package!, September 20, 2004
This review is from: Jupiter 314L Soprano Trombone - Slide Trumpet
"And now it's time for a little trombone!" That's what I say before pulling this little guy out...it always gets a laugh but the tone quality that eminates from this Jupiter, is no laughing matter! This horn has the tember, or tone quality, somewhere between a good B-flat trumpet and a Flugel Horn. It can be sharp or mellow. These instruments are usually tone-flat, or are very difficult to get the sound you want, but this time Jupiter has got it right. The instrument is one octave above the more common tenor trombone, complete with the seven slide-positions a tenor player would expect but much shorter. If you are a trombone player and are woried about the trumpet mouthpiece, used on this instrument, ruining your emboucher, don't wory...I have experienced that it reinforces your tenor playing abilities...I have had no negative effects (just dont blow your lip out). Not a bad price either! Have Fun!

Soprano trombone NOT SLIDE TRUMPET, August 23, 2011
This review is from: Jupiter 314L Soprano Trombone - Slide Trumpet
This is a awesome instrument, tuning is a bit off but it is an eye catcher. Its a novelty instrument unless youre in a trombone choir. Jazz is the perfect place to get that "what the heck is that" factor. Its only flaw is that its for fun rather than a primary instrument.
