Jupiter Instruments has just linked up with their new instrument endorsee, Kris Reeder (hons), Dip. ABRSM.

Kris is based in Oxfordshire, and works as a teacher and musician, performing all over the world and recording several CD's — from jazz to avant-garde.

World class

He is widely considered to be one of the leading trombonists of his generation and has performed along many world class musicians and conductors.

Kriss has always endorsed Jupiter and finds the trombones in particular some of the best instruments in the market place.

Looking forward

A Jupiter spokesperson told 4BR: "We are looking forward to working with Kris throughout our whole range of trombones.

However, as a starting point we sent him the Jupiter 232 trombone to find out his thoughts."
