This robust instrument serves as the alto voice in your marching band, fleshing out the upper brass section by providing dramatic tonal colors.

Jupiter horns can withstand all the rigors and abuse a busy marching band will throw at them. And with a lightweight ABS molded case to protect them, your band will benefit from ample use out of the 1000 series marching French horns for years to come.

Optimized for sound and performance

The JHR1000M enables your horn players to project a stunningly complex sound that envelops your entire brass section. With that being said, you’ll need them to last through lengthy parades and intricate field shows. That’s why the Jupiter JHR1000M Bb marching French horn is highly optimized for the marching arts. The 1000 series marching French horn comes equipped with a .468-inch bore, which allows your horn players to push plenty of air through the instrument without exhausting themselves. Its weight distribution also feels just right, thanks to the calculated balance between the horn’s body and its 10-inch yellow brass bell. To make things even more comfortable, the JHR1000M sports an ergonomic first valve slide thumb saddle and a finger hook. And by using a traditional-style French horn mouthpiece, new marchers won’t need to adjust their embouchure to a new mouthpiece — they’ll feel right at home!

Built to last, season after season

Marching instruments are subjected to all sorts of abuse that would make their orchestral counterparts quake in fear. Jupiter knows this, so their designers equipped the JHR1000M with highly durable components. This marching French horn is built with sturdy bracing that can withstand the “gentle” handling of students moving on and off the field. Ultra-durable stainless steel pistons will also last through many marching seasons with very little noticeable wear and tear. And finally, to ensure it lasts many years into the future, the JHR1000M comes with a lightweight ABS case that’s easy to carry and protects the instrument when traveling.
