RE: Horns

Flugelhorn is conical bore while trumpet is cylindrical bore, which only affects the tone, otherwise they're the identical instrument. On the trumpet a significant length of the tubing is the same size (to the 1/1000") which gives more projection and overtones, while the flugelhorn tubing gets gradually larger from the beginning of the tubing to the end which makes for a mellower sound that projects less with fewer overtones.

Generally, it's easier to get a "good" sound on flugelhorn.
