Basically, this extends from the usual woodwind doubler instruments and then to folk instruments.

I am on the long hard journey of playing virtually every woodwind instrument ever invented (within usable means of course). Of course anyone else is welcome to post as well: I bet more of my friends from the Oboe and Clarinet boards with come in here, but if there are any true doublers here, here it goes. I don't know how many people check these doubling boards. They are eager to sell parts directly to the repair technician.New Topic | Go to Top | Go to Topic | Search | Help/ Rules | Smileys/Notes | Log In A parts catalog is currently available free of charge from Jupiter. but those marketed here is this country are first play-tested before being distributed.

prior to 1985, so there can be no real certainty that a Jupiter is not a vintage 1984 or 1985, though it is unlikely.Īll Jupiter instruments are manufactured outside the U.S. Jupiter marketed instruments in countries other than the U.S. As a result, it is not possible to tell if an instrument having the first number "4" was manufactured in 1985 or 1995.

The problem with this system is that Jupiter has been manufacturing instruments for over a decade. If the first number was a "0", would indicate that the instrument was manufactured in 1991. For example, if the serial number began with a number "4" you would then add "1" to this number and know that the instrument was manufactured in 1985. The resulting number then would represent the year after 1984 that the instrument was manufactured. The age of Jupiter instruments may be determined by adding one to the first digit of the serial number. The company has factories in Taiwan, Japan, and P.R. They market Medici, Advantage, Altus, among other product lines. Jupiter is a subsidiary of KHS /Musix of Taiwan.
