It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Horns

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"!
