Not as far as I know! I was just saying that I didn't read your post correctly. Jupiters have their detractors, but often they are folks who had school horns that were beaten to death. I've never even played a Jupiter, so I don't really have an opinion, other than to say that if the valves don't stick, I'd say you did fine. From comments I've heard, I WOULD suggest being particularly dilligent about oiling the Jupiter's valves, but I'd really say that about any horn.
Joe Baker, who was not demeaning the instrument in any way.
