This design element makes upkeep super easy and saves a brass technician plenty of headaches when your JTU700 eventually makes its way to the repair shop. Plus, the easy disassembly allows for hassle-free cleaning in the utility sink.
Stainless steel pistons
If you don’t count the dents and scratches students leave in the body of a tuba, the valves experience more wear than any part of the instrument. That’s why Jupiter loaded the JTU700 with a trio of stainless steel valves. Stainless steel is a natural choice for student-level instruments because of its extreme durability and corrosion resistance. Plus, stainless steel valves don’t experience flaking plating like other valve designs. For you, the educator who cleans and maintains tubas during the summer, stainless steel piston valves provide a hassle-free playing experience and require less maintenance.
