There is a pretty good physical resemblance to Osho, the Sex Guru. The dialect of the one I posted could be West Virginian. Osho on the other hand sounds like he is from Brooklyn, Jersey or Mumbi.
Somehow sex and a Brooklyn, Jersey accent would NOT get me to home base.

1962 Martin Committee flugel
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?

For sale, BTW.
Why? Didn't you sell one before and regretted it?
My good fortune on this virus is, that while my evening gigs may be impacted negatively, eventually, my other profession keeps me very busy during the day. The most frustrating thing about my day gig, is I can only tell my patients it is NOT the flu (as I can test for this), and that it is another virus, of which, in Ohio, we have no COVID-19 test kits!
My heart goes out to you Flugelgirl. Your local being Washington State (Seattle in vicinity) does not help your cause either. I too hope this "contained" out break ends quickly.
Looking at the death rate since US stats have been reported is around 7% (higher than the 2% in Asia). Is there reason for concern? You bet. So cautious and judicious of choosing venues is warranted. Were the risk is higher, caution will be ramped up. So again, my heart goes out to you Flugelgirl.

@administrator Do we want to start a thread about trumpeters playbacks?
Yes, let's go ahead and do that. Sorry for the tangent.

@GeorgeB said in Anyone remember JOHNNY ZELL:
Yeah, Miles was in a different league. I was more into the big bands, louis and Dixieland style jazz while I was playing back then, but after I stopped in 1965 I became interested, as a listener, in jazz players like Miles and Chet. And I would say that no one was further away from the Harry James exaggerated vibrato style of playing than Miles.
Actually as a young lad in St. Louis, Miles aspired to the Harry James sound. His earlier teacher scolded Miles for trying to sound like Harry... Miles listened, and the rest is history.

@Dr-GO I take a dose of it right before I paint, usually.

A very old vintage painting I did which involved some combining of images....just saying, I did not actually see this scene as it appears except when I painted it that way! We are looking at something from around 1980 here.
Have you had a digoxin level checked recently? Rumor has it that Van Gogh's textures were yellow due to his excessive use of digoxin. Anyway, let me know and I will keep an ear off for you.

...I have about 10 horns... I'm actually thinking about thinning the heard.

As long as one of them is NOT that Getzen Eterna Flugelhorn. It is a beauty and plays just the same. I know. I've played it!
For me, I first soak in moderate warm soapy water at 101 F. Then I will add a bit of conditioner to the water. After about a good 15 minute soak, I then drain the tub and pat EVERYTHING dry. Immediately after this I chose a 100 Proof pure grain alcohol cleansing....
...Then I will wash my horns!
