Description
The JP173 Baritone Horn is a free blowing and durable Bb Baritone Horn perfect for students and training bands. A completely redesigned valve block has revolutionised this MKII version resulting in a more reliable instrument, vastly superior to many competitors within the same price bracket. Using nylon valve guides, perfectly aligned with a CNC cut channel, the new JP173 valve block will give years of quiet and enjoyable service without the need for ongoing maintenance. A favourite amongst education authorities and music services, the JP173 Baritone Horn Bb provides a exceptionally high performance to cost ratio providing a high component specification with an affordable price tag.
The JP173 Baritone Horn is constructed from attractive yellow brass throughout and features a large 8″ bell for great sound projection and a .504″ bore. 3 waterkeys and bottom sprung monel valves help keep the instrument in a smooth and free working order whilst other features such as the addition of a lyre box and bell ring give the instrument that professional feel.
The JP173 Baritone Horn is supplied with a well-designed and attractively styled lightweight case as well as a JP Mouthpiece. The case includes a large external storage pocket providing sufficient space for sheet music and accessories.

Baritone JP173 –
An excellent instrument with excellent build quality. A free blowing instrument with excellent intonation across the range, helped by quick acting valves.. As a retired music teacher making a return to brass playing, this instrument would suit any player from beginner to grade 4 and possibly beyond and plays as well as instruments I have owned costing many times the price of this one. Well done JP! Keep up the good work..
