Jupiter Capital Edition
$525.00
The Jupiter Capital Edition is a highly respected saxophone, prized for its solid sterling silver neck that delivers a warm tone and effortless, free-blowing playability.
This particular horn arrived in rough shape, featuring a bell dent, several bent keys, and worn-out pads. We’ve since performed a total overhaul: replacing every pad, cleaning and lubricating the action, and precision-tuning the setup. While the cosmetic dent remains (as we do not offer dent repair), the saxophone now plays with the soul and reliability of a brand-new instrument. Its “player-grade” condition is fully reflected in the discounted price.
A breakdown of the mechanical work performed to bring this horn back to life.
Our shop specializes in mechanical precision. For this Jupiter, we performed a full repad using high-quality materials to ensure a perfect airtight seal. We also straightened the misaligned keys and completely refreshed the action with professional-grade lubricants. The result is a smooth, tactile response that rivals a factory-fresh setup.
