Trumpet vs cornet vs flugelhorn: same notes, same fingers, three different sounds
A trumpet, a cornet and a flugelhorn all play in B flat, cover the same range and use the same three valves and fingerings. What changes is how the tube is wrapped and how wide it gets, and with it the sound: bright, rounder, or dark and soft. They aren't priced the same either.
