What do you think about this baby?

Any opinions on sound, mechanics, ergonomics, durability?

Im in a market for a new baritone for about 2000€ and
Im considering this Jupiter or Amati ABS 64.

I know there are lot of other (better?) options for that budget,
but I don't have a choice, since I will buy it on credit at the store...

They are about the same price; Amati ABS 64 is considered a pro
horn and comes with a Babbit mouthpiece, while Jupiter is considered
intermediate with a generic mouthpiece. But it's prettier :D...

One way or the other, I will probably try both at the store,
but the Amati is out of stock, so I'll have to wait a couple of
weeks...

I would really appreciate any insights!


Thanks!

Most people here would say to try the Artist Series Jupiter.

I found one of these on ebay for 1200 bucks had barely been played, I just do not understand how these horns are so undervalued.
