    • RE: Martin Committee Cornets - Why So Cheap, comparatively ???

      If it's not a sheperds crook cornet, most brass players are not interested. Trumpet is a better trumpet. People want SC cornets that are coupled with deep mouthpieces, making a sonic experience that knocks on the door of the flugelhorn office.

      @GeorgeB I enjoy reading your posts. What a great story of tenacity. I'm glad you are still a brass player in our braternity. What's new in 2025?

    • RE: $800 Box of Mouthpieces!

      @barliman2001 BLESSING is my brand for inexpensive cornet and flugelhorn mouthpiece trials. They are clones of BACH CORP models. Get it in close and then invest.

      I like the plastic box you use. Did you upcycle something? Looks like an organizer for nuts and bolts.

    • RE: GRawlin Solista Flugelhorn

      @harry ALLORA is a better value at $425 new. People are importing and inspecting great flugelhorns under myriad brands. Not really making them.

      Ironically, MILES AHEAD album is the only time Miles Davis professionally played a flugelhorn!

    • RE: Flugel Thread

      I'm an opposite style of flugelhorn enthusiast judging from those beautiful, even stunning, editions. I've been studying the PRC imports market because I'm a cheap home hobbyist. Impressive improvements in the last decade and and especially the last six years.

      I've owned an ACB Doubler from 14 years ago that was great -- and the new owner also loves it!

      I am currently playing an ALLORA rose brass from 15 years ago. Previous one owner is a professional multi instrumentalist. It's built heavy and sturdy. Beautiful sound and good valves (a little clanky).

      On the way is a satin finish Thomann JAZZ. Open box.

      If they start well and enjoy normal maintenance, good PRC flugelhorn imports hold up perfectly well.

      They are routinely owned and played by professional musicians.

      The key to success is in the hands of the importer. They do the supplier vetting and any subsequent quality assurance / gear updates.

      From my experience and research:

      ACB
      ALLORA
      Thomann
      Weisman

      Not all of the good PRC importers, just my current list. I'm continuing to test and research.

      I have no experience / comment about India imports.
