Thomann FH-1000L Flugelhorn

This was purchased for a teenage learner who had been renting an instrument from school and playing in a youth brass band in England. We know very little about brass instruments but have only good things to say about this flugelhorn.

The finish seems good, the sound is good, the inlays on the keys is a nice touch. The slider is attached with metal parts so can't be broken off, like the previous flugelhorn my child used. The flugelhorn as a while seems to be good quality.

The flugelhorn comes with a fabric case which converts into a backpack - the backpack straps can be zipped away and the outer pocket locks with a key. There are other accessories included - mouthpiece, valve oil, cork grease, an extra shoulder strap, white gloves and instruction manual in English French and German.

I've been playing the trumpet for a couple of decades now, but I've always liked the deep and rich sound that a Flugelhorn horn can bring. After my market research, I've decided to buy the Thomann FH 1000L because it combined a good build quality and accessories, at a lower price than what I had found in other shops. Now, I am very happy and totally satisfied with my choice! As for the rich and deep sound that I was looking for, it is the first thing that my son picked up when he heard the Flugelhorn... In his words: "it sounds more sweet than the trumpet!" Excellent value for money, excellent packaging, excellent web site. Thank you Thomann!
