Half brass and half fiberglass may sound risky, but Jupiter's "FiberBrass" is just as loud as most full brass Sousaphones. We see no sacrifice in tone quality. What really makes the FiberBrass model special is the weight - These horns are light. With an optional fiberglass bell, 2-3 hours of band practice isn't so long afterall.
The 696L has the look and sound of brass combined with the lighter weight and lower cost of fiberglass. Thank you Jupiter Enginners, for really understanding the Sousaphone player! Excellent resonance and carrying power of the brass bell, combined with convenience of a lightweight fiberglass body.
