Flugenhorns


The flugelhorn is the soprano instrument from the brass instrument family. In terms of shape, tuning and range, it is comparable to the trumpet, but deviating from it, it has a predominantly conical tube, another length and a mouthpiece with a deep cup. It is notated in B (rarely in C). (The flugelhorn in B flat is a transposing instrument because it sounds a big second lower than it is notated in the notation.)
