randomnoise Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 I am wondering - are there 3V Flugels in G? If so who marched them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trptjock Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 Yes, there are 3 valve flugel horn bugles avaiable today by Kanstul. They play fairly in tune and hold up quite well, but the concern would be as to why a corps would march a flugel rather than a mello? The only corps that I can remember seeing playing the flugel were 1992-99 Blue Devils. Aside from BD, I am not sure that anyone else even tried to use them. I could be wrong about that, but that is what I know. The 3 valve flugel runs about 770.00 from Kanstul and you would need to contact them directly if you wanted to buy one since all their instruments are hand made.

randomnoise Posted September 18, 2002 Author Share Posted September 18, 2002 ...the concern would be as to why a corps would march a flugel rather than a mello? To hear a richer midvoice sound. One might ask the question, "Why has the all-Mellophone midvoice section become the standard?" Actually, I think I will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
