Interesting and cool story! I had no idea what a flugelhorn was until I Googled it. Looks a little like a cornet to me.

chuck mangione is primarily a flugel player. i can see why someone would veer that way. it's a likable sound.

Abe...you've never heard of Chuck Mangione? "Feels So Good" was the quintessential audiophile track for many years back in the late 70s and early 80s.He played a Flugelhorn.

No kidding! I always assumed it was some sort of cornet. Learn something new everyday.
I played a flugelhorn a few times. The sound is kind of cloudy, verging on soft but still brassy. In the right hands it can be very, very good.
Flugelhorn also has a "rounder", mellower tone than trumpet... Art Farmer uses it on occasion as well.
And remember: "Extra value is what you get, when you play cornet!"
Ow. Sorry.
Art Farmer also played a lot of Flumpet.
Art Farmer invented the flumpet.
I was unaware of the flumpet as a separate instrument until I read your post. Thankss.
Freddie Hubbard occasionally used the flugelhorn. In the instances where he used it, the full (fat) sound of the flugelhorn seemed to better fit the composition than the shriller sounding trumpet. I rather prefer Freddie Hubbard's flugelhorn playing over his trumpet playing. He seemed to better stay within the bounds of the overall tonal constructs of the instrument. Just my opinion!

The instant I saw the pic which you posted, I thought it looked like a bent up Monette trumpet. Turns out, from your link, it IS a Dave Monnette product. Given that, and that it's gold-plated, I'd guess it's in the $10,000 to $15,000 range.
The late, great Maynard Ferguson played Holton horns for decades, but in his later years, he switched to Monette. Something about the endorsement offers. Don't know if he ever played a flumpet.
:)
It's also the word I use when I bash my toe late at night... "Flumpet!" :-)
Guido Basso is also a jazz flugelhorn player of note.

Yeah, Chuck Mangione is a major jazz musician. As far back as the early '70s, he was the conductor of the Eastman Studio Orchestra at the Eastman School of Music. I heard him and they in Atlanta at the Music Educators National Conference in 71. I think he still wears the same hat.Check out his "Children of Sanchez" album. Very nice stuff.
My good buddy Eric Miyashiro also plays some awesome flugel.
