What IS that flügelhorn?

This Long-tone-study is more challenging for me on Flugelhorn.

Thanks for the good look at your flugel. It's a lovely thing. More a conventional flugel layout with the bell under the right hand, and straight-down valve slides, compared to the production instrument with left-hand bell looking more like a bigger Ganschhorn.

Good eye! This was very much an attempt to build a KQ in the reverse configuration.

Today I had problems holding the high G to the end with the flugelhorn. I tried it several times in a row. Only after I took a short break did it work. I'm wondering if it might be a good idea to play the notes in the reverse order (i.e. start with the more difficult notes). I also noticed that you always vibrate your lips during breaks. I'll try that out tomorrow too. Can you explain why you do this and how it helps you?
