Great Flugelhorn Recordings

For an intensely lysical slightly different flugel sound, look at the classical transcriptions played by the Russian virtuoso Sergey Nakariakov on a very custom Courtois 4-valve flugelhorn with an 8 inch bell...

Or... How about you pick up the flugel as I did... Even a top notch flugel horn like the Kanstul 1525 and 1526 copper bell, any of the amazing Adams F1, F2, F3, F4, and F5, Courtois 155 and 156, Eclipse, and the Taylor Fat Boy, or the new Getzen 4895 Custom Reserve all cost between $2500 and $5000.... Just about like a quasi entry level amp. And then you can taylor the sound to your heart's content with a plethora of mouthpieces, ranging in price between $50 and $250.... And in case you asked... No, the least expensive pieces are not inferior to the most expensive ones. Mouthpieces are all equally marvellous, just different, is all.
