Flugelhorn vs. Alto Flugelhorn

[@CCozart]

Thanks, just discovered the Alto Flugelhorn in F today, and this video demonstrates both!

[@Cay_k]

The alto flugelhorn kind of reminds of the sound of the don elliot jazz mellophone.

[@booktheory4814]

beautiful on both!! i never knew an alto flugel ever existed! your tone on it is immaculate 😍😍

[@degelepassant1186]

I once tested a Eb alto flugel, whish I had purchase it... It had a lovely sound, I really digged !

[@jtartell]

Interesting. My Couesnon Alto Flugel is in Eb! As always, you sound great!

[@Finetales]

This one has an Eb coupler for the main slide, so I can play in either F or Eb!

[@jtartell]

Fancy!

[@eddievelez4723]

Pretty interesting horn would love to hear more on it!

[@paulmullen2620]

How is the intonation and overall playability of that alto?

[@Finetales]

It's very manageable, especially with the slide kicker. Better than most bell-front alto instruments I've owned, and probably no worse than my Bb flugelhorn. Feels like a normal flugelhorn to play, if you can play one you can play the other.

@@Finetales Thanks! Does it use a standard flugelhorn mouthpiece or a tenor horn one? (or something else?)
