Fluglehorns

The flugel horn is a lonely instrument; the brass band has only one. It can easily be mistaken for a Bb cornet, because of its appearance and position in the band (next to the soprano cornet on the left side). It even plays in the same range as the cornets. A careful inspection will reveal that the flugel horn’s tubing diameter increases much more rapidly than a cornet’s, so that the sound wave expands quickly as it travels from the mouthpiece to the bell. As a result, the flugel horn has a dark tone quality that is an effective bridge between the cornets and the still darker, lower pitched instruments, such as the tenors.
