There isn't any information on the 1600I on Jupiter's website for the simple reason that the horn isn't yet available. It will be available at Jupiter dealers worldwide by sometime in April this year, and I'm sure at that time it will be listed on
http://JupiterXO.com and
http://JupiterMusic.com.
The specs of the new Jupiter XO series 1600I: it's a medium bore horn, medium weight (not too thin and not too heavy), the bell is 4 3/4 inches. The 1600I has a reverse tuning slide, and will be offered in brass lacquer and silver plate. The horn will list for under $2000 and I'm sure it can be purchased for considerably less than $1900 through Jupiter dealers. Every one of my students and colleagues who have tried the horn are surprised about how open this medium bored horn feels. As well, everyone has commented on the rich sound the new bell produces.
En van iemand die ze mocht proberen:
When I played the horn my first impression was it had that nice feel of support that you get from a medium bore horn, which was there from top to bottom, but it never got stuffy…. AND!…….(Drum Roll) there was a slot for high A (which we all know is the true test of any trumpet) As I was playing I just felt my sound was broader, but focused not blatty. VERY NICE HORN! I wouldn't say this is some radical new design, I would describe it as bringing the best of a Schilke S42, a Yamaha Z and an older Bach into one horn. Great quality, great sound! I will be ordering mine as soon as they are available!

Het ziet er dus uit als een concurrent van de S42, de Callet Sima, de 6310Z en 8310Z en misschien ook van de M- en MLV-Bach's.
