This review is from: Jupiter 521S Alto Flute (with Straight and Curved Headjoints)
When I was looking to acquire an alto, I play-tested the Jupiter side-by-side with the comparable Dean Yang model. While the Dean Yang had a smoother, lighter mechanism, the Jupiter out-performed in other areas. The headjoints are cut with just the right amount of resistance to allow for a gorgeous lower register without sacrificing the sweet, haunting upper register. Intonation is good, even with the curved head and it just feels good in the hands. The straight headjoint may be a stretch for smaller players, but the curved headjoint eliminates reach problems. My only real bone of contention is the case; while the straight headjoint fits inside the case, the curved headjoint slips into a pocket on the outside of the case cover and really isn't as protected as it could be. Maybe Jupiter will rethink the case design and actually provide a case that incorporates both headjoints within for maximum protection.
