John Packer. Baryton JP173MKII. Lakkert

The JP173 MKII is a free blowing and durable Bb Baritone Horn perfect for students and training bands. A completely redesigned valve block has revolutionised this MKII version resulting in a more reliable instrument, vastly superior to many competitors within the same price bracket. Using nylon valve guides, perfectly aligned with a CNC cut channel, the new JP173 MKII valve block will give years of quiet and enjoyable service without the need for ongoing maintenance. A favourite amongst education authorities and music services, the JP173 MKII Bb Baritone Horn provides a exceptionally high performance to cost ratio providing a high component specification with an affordable price tag.

The JP173 MKII Bb Baritone Horn is constructed from attractive yellow brass throughout and features a large 8" bell for great sound projection and a .504" bore. 3 waterkeys and bottom sprung monel valves help keep the instrument in a smooth and free working order whilst other features such as the addition of a lyre box and bell ring give the instrument that professional feel.
