For sale, BTW.
Why? Didn't you sell one before and regretted it?

Is this a rare find? It appears to have a rather small bell for a flugelhorn. How does it sound? How accurate does it slot?

It is rather rare, though you can find them. It has a smaller bell than most flugel size, and won’t fit on a K&M peg. It also takes a cornet shank mouthpiece, and I found a very deep one to get the right sound. Intonation is not bad as long as you don’t overblow, like every other flugel. I really wanted one because it was odd, but turns out it plays better than expected! It would never be a replacement for my F2, but I could use it as a backup if needed.

Wow, that horn looks fantastic, and it's 10 years older than me, too...
The mouthpiece has me curious, too.
