Thomann FH 600 G Bb-Flugelhorn 5-stars Reviews
Can't beat these for the price....
OK first said - I am not a pro musician on brass, I play alto sax. However I am learning brass and have this flugelhorn and a cheaper B flat trumpet. I can't find any fault with the intonation, tuning or blowing on this horn. The valves work beautifully although weaker springs might aid speed for some folks. I use a Bobby Shew flugelhorn m/p and I am trying the Denis Wick 4FL next - very warm fluid sound from the horn with a better m/p..
tolles Instrument
alles einwandfrei, Klang auch sehr gut, Toene kommen leicht und ohne Anstrengung.
Ventile laufen leicht ohne haengenzubleiben. Koffer ist auch ohne Mangel.
Alles fuehlt sich sehr solide an.
Lieferung schnell und problemlos.
Ich empfehle jedoch, auch noch andere Mundstuecke als das mitgelieferte auszuprobieren. Es laesst sich aber auch mit dem gelieferten gut spielen.

Great instrument, incredible value
For the price this is a truly unbelievable instrument. Very closely based on the popular Yamaha Maestro flugels, the gold brass bell has a rich, warm tone perfect for playing in all scenarios (I've used it in both British Brass Bands and Big Bands). The valves are heavy and sluggish at first, but with a quality, thin valve oil and some time this corrects itself as the horn "wears in". The instrument is very heavy, it is the heaviest flugel I can remember ever playing, however it is very comfortable and ergonomic in the hands. The 3rd valve slide trigger on mine is a little sluggish, but does the job just fine; on an instrument in this price bracket it's unusual to see a trigger at all, never mind one that's nearly perfect!
For the big band doubler or brass band cornet player who is occasionally asked to dep on flugel this is perfect, and would suit brass band flugelhorn soloists up to 2nd/3rd section standard without a problem. Very highly recommended.
Outstanding quality for the price!!!
I was not really expecting to be wowed but when I received the item I was genuinely shocked! First of all it only costs a fraction of the professional models out there. Secondly, it plays surprisingly in tune! This is really a great product.
The only CON is that the buffing (before lacquering) was not done well in the hard to reach areas.
It has no sign of trumpet
Today's most of flugelhorns have some sign of trumpets in its shape desing, the resultant sound and so on. However, I realized that this flugelhorn is not, so it is highly valuable for me. Because I wanted rich, highly resonant, deep, and merrow sound which exactly flugelhorn can produce, and this flugelhorn can. Before, I often considerd to try/buy the other 100%-copper-bell ones or similar high copper content ones to get the sound which I wanted. However, this flugelhorn can produce satisfactory sound with its gold-brass bell and the shape, with nice response. For the other minor preference, we can modify mouthpiece and/or rendition style.
