RE: If a French Horn ...

A flugelhorn is more like a mellowed trumpet, a horn is the brass instrument with the longest tubing other than a tuba/sousaphone. Its tone is controlled by where/how deep you place your hand into the bell. This also aids tuning, as the tuning is accomplished by a three-pronged approach...hand positioning, lip pressure, and slide adjustments, each having a significant influence. It's the most difficult brass instrument to master, and its tone is very distinct. Not to be compared to a trombone or euphonium (baritone), it has an extended range and often carries solo melody roles beautifully. I played all through grade school/high school/college and often sat first chair. I never really explored the instrument in its contemporary context (preferring classic rock), and will be intersted in hearing some of the suggestions. Good question.
