I found this link this morning and asked a friend about the funky Jupiter logo. My friend responded back with 'it's fake' which leads me to drop the link off here, pass go and collect $200. =) What do you think?

Could it be that the logos are different because of a different market?

The first one is an older Jupiter, but the second one I am not sure of.

Was the company emailed about the second one? They could confirm, and of course take an interest in the ebay ad...

KHS, the parent company, has been making these flutes for a long time, so it is possible that they changed logos, let me forward this to my friends at the office to Taiwan to try to get a definite answer..

according to the head of worldwide marketing for Jupiter, these are not Jupiter flutes, and he thanks you all for your diligence in noticing, he is looking into it.
thanks

Isn't that why the seller put quotes over the word Yamaha?

Who knows about the quotes and why it was done. Look at the rest of the ad! Wow.

I understand that if English is a person's second language they are bound to have trouble with grammar; but if you're going to sell something in that language, it should at least be professional and not look like a mad lib.

But if those ads weren't on ebay, I would have less to keep me amused the nights I can't sleep.
