CarolBrass CFL-6200-GSS-SLB Flugelhorn REVIEW
I’ve purposely waited a few weeks before writing this review, playing the horn on many different gigs, in different environments, acoustical situations etc.., to see if my initial impression of this CarolBrass Flugelhorn, was still an accurate one.
I have the brushed lacquered version which is visually really beautiful. That in itself has drawn immediate attention from all who see it.
The valves are just brilliant; fast, quiet and incredibly smooth. In fact, I couldn’t imagine any instruments’ valves being any better.
The sound of this Flugel is a typically deep, resonant, rich one, and as always, mouthpiece choice will alter this to some degree.
The horn comes with two leadpipes which is a brilliant idea.
What is most impressive for me, that which puts this Flugelhorn above any other I’ve owned or played, is its responsiveness. The notes seem to be effortlessly drawn out with only a gentle breath and are right where you require them to be, without any manipulation. This is a little difficult to explain yet ‘effortless’ is an apt word in this instance.
I’m primarily a small group jazz performer and playing fast passages is really so much easier with this Flugel - the notes aren’t sloppy, articulation is superb and effortless, all combined with this gorgeous sound.
I’ve yet to play a better Flugelhorn, regardless of price.
