Trumpet Valve Guides
![]() |
The flugelhorn is a type of bass instrument that looks like a trumpet albeit with a conical bore. Its name comes from the German term, Flugel which translates to 'wing' or 'flank' in English. This instrument was once used to summon army flanks in the battlefield. It is mainly used to create jazz and pop music. Perusing a flugelhorn guide is highly recommended for novices looking to learn how to play this interesting musical instrument.
Types of flugelhorns
A flugelhorn usually has three to four piston valves as well as a deep conical mouthpiece that enables it to create darker and mellower tones. The standard three-valve flugelhorn can produce a dark tone and a mellow sound. Given a good flugelhorn guide, you should be able to play this type of instrument without much effort. The standard flugelhorn is generally tuned to either middle C or B flat. Most of the models available these days already come with detachable mouthpieces for easier maintenance.
On the other hand, there is the four-valve flugelhorn. The added valve is responsible for the lower pitch that this instrument produces. Having a fourth valve also allows it to create more variety in playing low tones.
Buying guidelines
Any flugelhorn guide will tell you that the tuning slide and the flugelhorn's finish are two of the most important details that you should consider when purchasing this instrument. You want to get a flugelhorn that comes with a tuning slide so you can easily adjust the length of the air column little by little. It's also best if you opted for an instrument that comes with a silver plate finish. A flugelhorn with a silver plate finish is significantly lighter than other types making it easier to handle especially if you're a novice at this.
