Patrik,

I believe that on the Jupiter the joint where the slide section and the 
bell section fit together is where it tunes.  There is a piece of 
straight tubing on each section, they fit together and slide in and out 
to lengthen or shorten the instrument, and there is a screw that 
tightens it up to hold the bell in place wherever you put it.  Boy, it's

hard to explain I guess without drawing a picture.  In other words, you 
would pull back on the bell section to lengthen the horn and lower the 
pitch.
