Quick review of the "plastic" Zo Flugelhorn

Hi, this is my first attempt at a review and my first experience with a flugelhorn.
I was pretty nervous when I was filming and it shows in the playing :)
I had changed the title to say "trumpet" as I wanted to see what responses I got-I have changed it back now.
Enjoy

Sounds surprisingly good

Thanks for the review. Definitely way more affordable than metal horns. If sound and playability is good, may get one.

You did good. I have taken an interest in plastic instruments. This was very helpful.

Great video man. Really helpfull

I’m just curious why it is titled with Trumpet, rather than Flugelhorn?

[@mikestang679]

The plastic fantastic horns, sound really decent, for the price, I just got a Tromba flügelhorn, it's a mellow fellow....

[@jean-pierredevent970]

I wonder if a Denis Wick flugelhorn mouthpiece would give a perfect match. Normally these sound very dark and full, the perfect velvet sound but they require hard work. On a plastic instrument, it might be a bit lighter blowing on them. My experience with a plastic trumpet is too, that it plays lighter and certainly on soft volumes.

Hey mate, a year later how does it hold up? Thinking of getting one.

I play my fluglehorn everyday at the beach and its taken a beaten, I want one of those, while I get my adams f5 fixed, im afraid I won't have one soon...

I am learning Hayden concerto 3rd movement for college auditions. Any tips?

[@kn-qz7by]

I wish these were readily available in the U.S.

Nice Take 5

Hey...Do you live on the SC Hinterland? (I saw your Kondalilla clip). I'm a Maleny keyboard player who, instead of getting a Harley Davidson as a mid life crisis consolation gift decided to learn a brass instrument, something I have never played in my entire 50 odd years. There's something about a flugel horn I have always loved and so decided to purchase the ZO flugel from OzWinds (considering the brass versions far too expensive, particularly if I was going to be dreadful at it). I've had it about 2 months now and attempt to practice regularly. I used to practice up at the lookout in Reeseville so as not to drive the family and neighbours mad, but can now practice at home as I'm starting to improve in volume and tone control. With hard work I'm hoping to get up to a standard that I can actually play it in public. One day I might even reach the top C. Cheers even if you don't live on the Hinterland.

I've watched a lot of reviews lately and have a question: When did we start calling them water valves and not spit valves?

[@dimebagstaleypla]

Just curious, what is the benefits of having wrap around the valves?

[@BA-mg9ur]

Whats the name of the piece you were playing in the beginning of the video

[@hayesman76]

Nice review. The only other plastic flugelhorn I know of is the Tromba, which also gets generally positive reviews except for some issues with sticky valves. I wonder how the Zo compares to the Tromba.

[@rosariadileone5272]

I like it! Sounds excellant. Please tell me, send me a message. Where is it made?

[@milesmarshall8951]

Not a trumpet but still fire

[@wilhelmorangenbaum163]

Plastic "trumpet"?
