Excellent Student Oboe with Modified Conservatory System
A well-crafted student oboe with advanced features, the Jupiter JOB1000 is perfect for beginners ready to start their musical journey, in addition to being an instrument that will keep up with their developing skills. Music educators and oboe players at Sweetwater recommend the JOB1000 for its easy-playability, full-bodied tone, and high-quality appointments, including silver-plated keys and a modified conservatory key system. And this all comes at a value-packed price point — which parents will definitely appreciate! Finally, for safe transport to and from rehearsals and performances, the JOB1000 oboe comes with a lightweight and durable ABS molded case.
Made from ABS resin for enhanced durability
An important aspect to consider when purchasing a student oboe is durability. After all, it has to survive the bumps and bruises it will surely encounter as it travels with your young musician from school and back. Plus, if it’s used for outdoor performances, you’ll want to make sure it can withstand the occasional run-in with inclement weather. For those reasons, Jupiter constructed the JOB1000 from robust matte ABS resin. Unlike wood, ABS resin is impervious to damage associated with fluctuating temperatures and humidity changes, while also being resilient against normal wear and tear. Yet, ABS resin has a look and sound reminiscent of wood, with a full-bodied tone and a pleasing top end.
Modified conservatory system with silver-plated keys
Generally speaking, beginner oboes are equipped with simplified key systems, designed to allow young players to master basic fingering techniques without becoming confused by too many keys. While that is helpful, it means that inevitably you’ll have to upgrade to a new instrument as soon as you’re ready to advance. The Jupiter JOB1000 offers a modified conservatory key system, which sits somewhere between a simplified system and a full system. It includes two octave keys, a low F resonance key, a low Bb key, left- and right-hand C/D trill keys, and an adjustable F#/G# articulation key. So, when you’re ready to step up to intermediate techniques, the JOB1000 will be ready!
Jupiter: guaranteed through graduation
A staple in classrooms everywhere, Jupiter band instruments are beloved by music teachers for good reason. Since 1980, the company has built high-quality band instruments for students of every development level. Innovations such as the Waveline flute headjoint and the patented Ergonomic trombone are just two examples of the company’s player-centered design philosophy. Each Jupiter instrument is inspected for quality throughout the manufacturing process, ensuring that it can endure bumps and bruises as easily as it can navigate technical passages. Sweetwater believes that every student should have access to the rich musical culture that unites us all. And with Jupiter’s player-first focus, anyone is welcome to embark upon an exciting and fulfilling musical journey through high school graduation and beyond.
