I buy this flugelhorn as a second instrument.
It's an add to my trumpet.
1. Delivery.
Quick as usual. Well protected. A "case" (I'll come back to that) in a box in a box. Nothing was missing. A little to much plastic bags for me. the case was in a plastic bag and the FH was in 2 plastic bags. The planet don't thanks me for that.
2. Sound
The Fh is reactive and already oil (fine intention).
Sound just like a flugelhorn. I like the sound. Round and different from my trumpet. The mechanics are good and quick.
I was expecting a good product and it's what I got.
3. Visually
The "rust" on the mechanics is great, It look like a old, horn who lived many adventures. On the horn itself, it's different, it look..bha...it's like someone puted some paint and move on. The picture on the website like better. Knowing that, I woulded probably buy mat version ( maybe).
3. Case and accessory
For 444€, with case and accessory, I prefer to pay 440€ on the horn and the rest on the case, that's fine for me. The box for the shipping look stronger. They're oil and grease with it.
