Frequently Asked Questions

3B linkage reduces friction and improves valve speed, resulting in a lighter, more responsive feel and quicker recovery between notes.
Gold brass is slightly softer than a typical brass alloy, so it requires a bit more care to avoid dents, but the tonal benefits are considerable.
Rotary valve flugelhorns are favored by players seeking a darker, more mellow tone and a more European playing style, often used in jazz and orchestral settings.
