Description
Description
The flugelhorn has a thick, soft, and sweet tone.The underspring flugelhorn produces the mellow tone that is characteristic of the flugelhorn.
The design produces an overall brighter tone, making it easy to switch from a trumpet.
It is ideal not only for ensembles and solos, but also as an introduction to British-style brass bands.
●Features: This model was developed to be easy to play while still producing the mellow tone that is characteristic of flugelhorns.
The durable stainless steel piston, which inherits the design concept of the higher-end Brasspire Unicorn model, delivers stable piston action.
●Material: The yellow brass bell produces a bright tone, but to achieve an even richer tone, only the first tube (the U-shaped part below the bell) is made of red brass.
To provide a more solid playing feel, the outer tube of the removable tube is made of nickel silver.
The third slide is equipped with a trigger lever, and the first slide is equipped with a base for attaching a music clip.
●Finish: Silver-plated finish, favored by many trumpet players.
Richer and darker tone than clear lacquer.
●The main tuba is a type where the pitch can be adjusted by inserting or removing the mouthpiece.
The mouthpiece receiver is made of nickel silver.
This makes it easier for the player to grasp the key points of the sound.
●The outer tube of the tuning slide is made of highly durable nickel silver.
The third removable tube is equipped with a trigger lever that allows for quick pitch adjustment.
●The wide first tube, unique to the lower spring, produces the soft and sweet tone characteristic of a first-tube flugelhorn.
To maximize this effect, red brass is used as the material.
A base for attaching a music clip is also included.
(*J Michael does not sell lyre.)
●A bell that produces a thick, mellow tone.
The material used is yellow brass, which has a slightly brighter tone, and is designed to accommodate users who switch from trumpet.
Bell Carling uses a non-wired beat that makes it easy for beginners to monitor their own sound.
●Piston The piston is made of highly durable stainless steel material.
The lightweight piston button combined with a stainless steel spring creates a light and nimble action.
In addition, lightweight screws are used for the top and bottom screws.
This improves pronunciation response and contributes to a brilliant sound.
●Case: A lightweight semi-hard case that is easy to carry.
It comes with a detachable strap so you can wear it over your shoulder, and the zipper is made by the trusted YKK.
