Jupiter TS-787 Tenor
$785.00
This Jupiter Tenor is in very good condition. The 700 series is Jupiter’s upgraded model. The 500 and 600 series are geared towards students, but the 700 series is an intermediate horn. It has been serviced and plays like a new horn. It does have some lacquer wear on the back near the thumb rest (see pictures) and a previous owner engraved their initials on the back. Other than those small defects, this horn looks like a near new instrument, shinny, well adjusted and plays like a dream. Comes with the sax, neck, case, strap, end plug, mouthpiece and ligature.
