Listening to recordings of Art Farmer and was intrigued by the fact he switched from trumpet to flugelhorn at a certain point in his career. Well we all think we know or sort of know what the various instruments sound like but I wanted some kind of explanation of the differences between the two and went to the Web. This is what I found.
There are others, but I was satisfied with this.
Also was helpful to confirm what the difference in sound is between the cornet and trumpet as quite a few Jazz players made that switch.
I like the fact that he calls the sound of the flugelhorn "fluffy"!
