BIG, RICH, SMOOTH, MELLOW, along with clear and nimble articulated highs and lows… that’s what you can get from this combination of an easy-blowing .433” bore and the large gold brass bell.
Some flugelhorns are made with a .460” bore. Most of these can produce a nice, big sound, and some say it’s easier for a trumpet player to switch to because it feels more trumpet-like. I’ve owned some very nice .460” bore flugelhorns in the past, and was pleased with their ability to do fat and mellow, but the larger bore in front of a large flugelhorn bell made it a challenge to control things technical in the upper range. .413” or .433” bore flugelhorns are much more nimble upstairs, and they can be easier to blow and afford cleaner high range playing. But this usually comes at the expense of tone quality. Historically you’ve always had to make a choice between small and big, articulate or mellow.
The flugelhorns by CarolBrass give you the best of everything! The .433” bore makes for ease of accuracy up high, and it is easy on the wind supply. But somehow by the time your sound passes through those amazingly wonderful stainless valves and out the large gold brass bell, it can have a richness previously attributed only to either large bore or a very few very high priced horns. NOBODY makes flugelhorns that play this well, sound this good and have our great intonation for anywhere near the price of these CarolBrass . NOBODY!
