• Unique benefits

• With a high grade 80:20 one piece brass body and bell the JP243 performs brilliantly for the price.  

  Better quality parts such as blue steel springs improve response as they are rust resistant with better tension memory.

  Italian leather pads create a great seal that translates into a fuller sound that projects further. These also last longer than conventional pads. Resonator pads also improves projection and gives the tone of the JP243 more depth.

  The instrument also features front F, high F# and high G keys and a floating plate design for the little finger (left hand) cluster to aid faster movement.

  An adjustable thumb rest achieves a more natural and comfortable hand position. A sling ring also provides the opportunity to make the instrument even lighter with the use of the provided sling.  

  The appearance of the JP243 has been enhanced with engraving and eye catching abalone pearls.
