Re: Vito vs Bundy vs Jupiter

I played A Vito V40 for quite some time. Because it has a large 0.590" bore, it is what they call "free blowing". IMO, the V40 is solidly well built.

My understanding is the Bundy comes in 2 bore sizes: a large 0.590" "free blowing" model and a smaller 0.577" which will be slightly resistant, less "free blowing". Again, to my understand, both are solidly well built. If it just says "Bundy" on it, it should be a 0.590". A 0.577" Bundy is clearly marked "Bundy 577".

By "solidly well built", what I mean to say is that the keys are very sturdy and are almost impossible to bend out of shape.

Others will have to chime in about the Jupiter.

My understanding is that smaller bore instruments have better tuning scales than large bore instruments. So you might want to take that into consideration.
