playLITE Hybrid Flugel Horn by Gear4music, Black - Secondhand

Full Description

Colourful and Lightweight ABS Body

This instrument not only plays brilliantly, but also looks great! Featuring a sleek black ABS body, this instrument only weighs 350g. This is ideal for younger performers who would otherwise struggle to hold a brass flugel horn for prolonged periods of time, as well as advanced players who are searching for a lightweight instrument. The body of this instrument creates an authentic sound, comparable to that of a brass flugel horn, meaning it can be easily used in ensembles as well as for individual performances.

Aluminium Valves and Adjustable Slides

The playLITE flugel horn gets its hybrid title from its great feeling, fast action aluminium valves. The plastic moulded valve case has an aluminium collar built in to provide a tight and precise seal, meaning no air leakage and a better projection. As a result, the instrument is very hard wearing and will withstand the rigours of continued use. The aluminium valves are also easy to maintain as this instrument can be lubricated with any standard brass valve oil used on conventional instruments. The already accurate intonation of this flugel horn is aided further with fully adjustable valve slides, as well as a main slide for general tuning.

Complete Package

The playLITE flugel horn comes as a complete package so that the performer can get playing straight away. Included is a plastic mouthpiece that is suited to all-round playing. The instrument also comes in a hard foam case, which can be carried over the shoulder with ease.
