Jupiter Quality and Design
diMedici Tradition
No Flute maker incorporated the preservation of tradition into the making of a modern instrument more than can be seen with Jupiter's diMedici series. The handwork that goes into each diMedici flute rivals that of the most expensive instruments in the world.
diMedici Research
Years of research has gone into perfecting the diMedici scale and mechanism design. This design is unique in that it preserves the aesthetic of a classic instrument by retaining features such as keys with sculpted French pointed arms. A feature not found on many brands today. diMedici artisans realize the great responsibility of this, for a key with French arms must have a perfectly seated pad or the aesthetic has no meaning. Exceptional care is also taken with the hand work required to accurately cut and shape headjoints, as well as adjust mechanisms precisely.
Jupiter Commitment to Excellence
The quality of Jupiter flutes is recognized worldwide. Because flutemaking is a combination of science and art, Jupiter constantly seeks the latest innovation in design and engineering to achieve ever higher standards in the manufacturing process. Leading players, teachers and artisans collaborate in the design and artistry that makes each Jupiter flute a truly great performance instrument.
