About Queen Brass Solid Brass BB Pitch Flugelhorn 4 Valve
Solid Brass Bb Pitch Flugelhorn 4 Valve Along With Mouth Piece Blue Item No: MI 081 Description :- This is a beautiful 4 Valve Flugelhorn. It gives a beautiful "mellow" and "dark" tone. The first 3 Valves of this flugelhorn serve the same purpose as the 3 Valves of a standard 3 Valve Flugelhorn. The 4th valve extends the range of the Flugelhorn and is used to reach notes lower than the standard low F at the trumpet's bottom end. This is a great instrument for intermediate and professional players. Short History :- The German word Flügel translates into English as wing or flank. In early 18th century Germany, a ducal hunt leader known as a Flügelmeister blew the Flügelhorn, a large semicircular brass or silver valveless forerunner of the modern-day flugelhorn to direct the wings of the hunt (military use dates from the Seven Years' War, where this valveless instrument was employed as a predecessor of the bugle)
