Common Questions About the Jupiter JBF1000

How does the JBF1000 fit into Jupiter's flute lineup?

The JBF1000 is Jupiter's horizontal bass flute model, cataloged among the company's specialty low flutes. It is built with silver-plated nickel silver construction and ergonomic features intended to make bass flute playing more practical for ensemble and doubling use.

What does the adjustable crutch do for a bass flute player?

The adjustable crutch helps support the right-hand position and balance of the larger bass flute body. That support is important because bass flutes place more weight farther from the player than a standard C flute.

Is the JBF1000 a practical choice for doubling work?

Yes. The JBF1000 gives doublers and flute specialists access to the bass flute register in a format that remains familiar to experienced transverse flute players, which makes it useful for pit orchestra, studio, flute choir, and contemporary ensemble settings.
