You've never heard Kuhlohorn like this

Dimensions and sound appear quite similar to a flugelhorn, but with a more rounded rounded wrap.

From what I read, the design is based off a flugelhorn.

@administrator Indeed it is. The inventor, a pastor Kuhlo, wanted something more mellow in tone than the peashooter trumpets ubiquituous in his day, to better fit in with trombones and helicons (cornets were almost unheard-of in Germany at the time)

@administrator never mind the “like this”, I would say I have never heard a Kuhlohorn, period. That may change soon. When I listen to it my first time.

@administrator that is a GREAT sound - good song selection too! Well done! Made my day

[barliman2001]

Good flugelhorny sound, yes; but he is playing that Kuhlohorn with an inappropriate mouthpiece. They were intended - just as all rotary flugelhorns to this day - to be played with a trumpet mouthpiece. The original Kuhlohorn sound is something like a straight cornet with a proper cornet mouthpiece.

Agreed. The rounded wrap component is more related to the textures delivered by a keyed instrument. Here is Claudio Roditi playing the keyed flugelhorn that I feel gives a very similar tonal delivery
