Jupiter sousaphone for marching, show and jazz formations
The Jupiter JSP-1000 is a Bb sousaphone commonly seen in marching, show and jazz formations. Its white lacquered fiberglass body and Ø66 cm bell keep the total weight at 10.2 kg, which is helpful when you play while moving for longer periods.
With a height of 130 cm and a 17.5 mm bore, this Jupiter sousaphone fits ensemble use and street performance situations where carrying comfort and practical construction matter.
Construction and design of the Jupiter JSP-1000
The body and bell are made of white lacquered fiberglass, while the three-piece mouthpipe is brass with a gold lacquer finish. That mouthpipe is adjustable, so you can adapt its position to your playing posture.
The valve section is lacquered brass and removable. This sousaphone comes with a mouthpiece and a padded bag for the mouthpipe set and mouthpiece. At Magna Music, you can also test wind instruments in store and get advice from staff with hands-on playing experience.
Valves and practical details
Jupiter equips the JSP-1000 with 3 stainless steel front action valves. Front action means the valves are positioned at the front, matching the usual playing position of a sousaphone.
The combination of a lightweight fiberglass build, removable valve section and included accessories makes this Bb sousaphone a practical choice for players looking for an instrument that is easier to handle in rehearsal and performance settings.
