Could be . . . I have a friend who is a fine flute player, who insists that
his Jupiter is a great flute.

Apparently, Jupiter doesn't really exist--it's a brand that is stamped on
instruments made by a variety of companies. If the same people make that
clarinet as make the flute, it could very well be a good horn. If it's made
by the people who make the saxophones, on the other hand, I suppose it would
be a good axe handle or something . . .

Well, as I said, I never tried Jupiter. That was only a word of mouth
statement from a student I met in California who said she loved her
Jupiter, and that it was comparable to Yamaha. *shrug*
