So this availability is not particular relevant.įor student flutes, Yamaha at present, but that may well change in the next few years, because Yamaha seems to be recently following USA manufacturers in producing substandard, non-level tone holes, which affect reliability, and make all work a pain, and expensive. Technicians get their pad stocks form pad suppliers they are not regarded as parts unique to a brand or model. Jupiter are very good for parts availability, but most flutes do not need any parts replaced during their entire life. I regard them as a not-below-average student flute which should be in a price range quite a bit below the Yamahas I see here. In my country Jupiters have been promoted as if they were the predominant student brand sold here, and they were priced as if they were on a par with Yamaha. For student instruments, the most marketing is done on behalf of the models from which the dealers can get most profit. In my opinion, MOST of the rave about flute models comes from marketing. Anything to do with marketing usually has little truth in it, and eventually gets told so many times that people start believing it. The way they play has never particularly impressed me.īeware of the marketing hype attached to ANY brand. I keep hearing that Jupiters have improved, but from all those that I have ever seen, I have seen no evidence of them dealing with the main problem - very soft metal. Jupiters used to have quite a range of problems, two of the worst being parts falling off, and very soft metal.
