Band Directors Talk Shop

KHS America/Jupiter

Origins

Founded in 1979 by KHS Musical Instruments, Co., Ltd, Jupiter has become a preeminent brand of wind instruments for school bands around the world. The company remains dedicated to the enrichment of lives through music performance and education by providing the highest quality musical instruments and services.

Jupiter in the USA

Jupiter winds are distributed in the United States by KHS America, along with other such notable brands as Mapex Drums, Majestic Percussion, SONOR Drums and Orff Instruments, Altus and Azumi flutes, XO Professional Brass, and Hohner Guitars, Harmonicas, Accordions and Children’s Instruments. With a deep seated belief that music is an essential part of life and that it provides a positive contribution to society as a whole, KHS America has established itself as an active participant in the music education community.  The U.S. Army All-American Band, National Student Melody Competition, and Be a Part of the Music are just a few of the many educational initiatives supported by the company.

In the words of KHS America President (and former band director), Tabor Stamper, “We understand the joy of music-making, and that the benefits last a lifetime. We refer to having been positively impacted by participation in music as being ‘BANDED’.”
