The flugelhorn is a type of trumpet that gets a mellower sound and is often used in ballads. Most jazz players own a flugel. Some great flugelhorn players: Art Farmer (check out his Flumpet); Woody Shaw, Hugh Masakela, Thad Jones.
In this video, learn the techniques necessary to get the most out of this important trumpet skill.

I can't wrap my head around how they made these instruments hundreds of years ago. Before electricity, modern tools etc. Fascinating. And kudos to you Jon for leaving in the flub.... that was classic !
Thanks for the Flugal demonstration. I played trumpet in elementary school. I find the trumpet is much easier to play than the flugal horn. I purchased a chinese flugal horn recently and have been discovering it because I have always had a facination for the Flugal horn. I'm glad to see a pro like you has the same issue I did. The Flugal is just harder to play and takes more wind. I think its about time to use valve oil on your Flugal L.O.L!! I noticed your middle valve was a little sluggish friend. Thanks again for your video and the good explaination of the Flugal vs. the Trumpet. My Flugal has the extra lever also for tuning. Thanks I did not have a clue what that was for.
I was trying to find a video on UA-cam showing the difference between trumpet and flugelhorn for my kids and whom do I find doing such a demonstration? My old teacher Mr. Harnum...
Hope life is treating you well, Jon. Keep up the great work.

Haha! Sweet! Who are you, Woodwindist? Glad to hear you've still got music in your life... :-)

Woodwindist Hey, Jonnathon! Great to hear from you! Hope you and your family are happy and healthy and all is well. (PS: I'm not THAT old... ;-)
No worries, Farendole. My trumpet is an older model Monette (c. 1989), raw brass, with a Prana B2 mouthpiece. I love its sound, too!
Helpful video. Thank you. I used to play trombone and trumpet, haven't played in years. Getting back into it now and will buy a flugelhorn instead. I think it sounds warmer and relaxed, whereas the trumpet is alert, shimmering, focused, attention-getting.
Good luck, pawbiter, and welcome back! Yeah, the warm tone is pretty great. If you have a spare 10K you could get a flumpet, which is about halfway between a flugel and a trumpet.... :-)
I was searching up flugelhorn to make sure it was a real instrument since I saw it on TV on a cartoon and I wanted to make sure it was a real instrument I saw it on ready jet go so I searched it up and I wanted to hear what a flugelhorn sound like so I clicked this video
I agree w/ LowReedExpert1: Mellophone 'pieces are quite deep (similar to flugelhorn 'pieces), and this can make higher notes tough when you're tired. First advice is to breathe more deeply and put more air through the horn. Next piece of advice is to check out your mouthpiece options.
All of my life I love the flugelhorn for its deep, far way sound. I guess the only persona who plays the flugelhorn all the time is Chuck Mangione. Is there another musician that plays exclusively this instrument and who has recorded?
woops, this one slipped by me! Sorry almc2242. Yeah, check out Art Farmer, also some stuff Freddie Hubbard did. A little more technical/jazz oriented than Mangione, but great stuff!

Chet Baker, but he didn't play the flugelhorn only, Great musician tho.
Thanks for asking. It's a Leblanc Arturo Sandoval model.
thx for this- Ive had a Benge Trumpet since 1970 , and Im thinking about buying an affordable FH....
YW. yeah, do it! Such a great sound. Be sure to play test it before you buy.... Good luck!
You should do a video on cornet.
I play on a trumpet Vincent Bach 3c mouthpiece. I switched to it like a year ago from a french horn mouthpiece
thanks! That means I need to buy a cornet, which is an idea I like!
@Bruizer1995 It still works that way. However, a lot of your sound comes from the mouthpiece, and it might not have the general "flugelhorn" sound. If you like it though, don't let anybody tell you different. First rule in music is that there are no rules.
@JCMcGee
Yes, the cornet is a conical bore instrument and has a mellower tone than trumpet. I'll try to post a vid of the flumpet....
i just got mine yesterday. It takes some adjusting to get used to the Flugelhorn. I was cracking just like you at first. I noticed I had more control when i would switch over to my Trumpet.
Fun! Getting a new instrument is the best. Glad to hear you're getting to explore it and figure it out. Congrats!
@JCMcGee
links to Flumpet are at 3:10 and 3:15: Scotty Barnhart and Andrea Guiffredi playing at the Monette shop.
Also, dont forget about Chuck Mangione!!
Thanks! Loved the embellishments you used on Round midnight by the way. Very tasteful.
I know the video is about the flugel, but could you tell me a bit about your trumpet ? Love the sound you get.
@schantzman87
thanks! And yes, that tune is most definitely 'Round Midnight by Thelonius Monk. The tune you're talking about might have quoted it.... It's a pretty famous jazz standard. Check out some of the great versions of it on the UA-cams......
@schantzman87
yeah, thanks for reminding me. He's probably the most famous one. I used to love him! Listened to him before I knew about all the other great jazz players....
Flugelhorn is a great way to lear how to get a darker sound on trumpet. great video!!! Plus isnt that song called late night jazz? think i played it in school
what type of mouthpiece were you playing on before? If it wasn't a mellophone mp and was a trumpet mp (like most use) then you probably finally just shocked up your lips, if not just work a bit on lip slurs and be sure you didn't just blow them out. Stick to mid register for now to avoid damaging your lips
i use a trumpet mouthpiece for my flugelhorn...is that bad? it sounds great, though!
I play mellophone for marching band and I was wondering why after a while cant I hit my high notes anymore. I play for a band that plays with aggression and I am required to hit high notes as loud as possible, but after a few high notes they stop coming out. I don't know what I'm doing wrong :/
Silly question, not having seen a "Flumpet"....but what about a coronet, that's kinda a conical bore trumpet...a "Flumpet"?
What’s the best way to practice?
That is HEAVY question. I did my PhD research on that topic. Then wrote a book about it. That would be my long answer: bit.ly/PracticeMusicSmarter
What kind of mouthpiece are you using on the trumpet? I have seen it so many times and really want one. Can you also give a me a price on how much on costs?
On occasions I hear something like a deep two-note wail in dramatic pieces like the Theme to the Magnificent Seven - a sort of AH-*ROOO!* sound in that case that is more punctuation than melody. It's a great addition to the many layers and sprawling character of that music, but I've never know what made it. Do you think that's a flugelhorn?

Oof! sorry for the ultra-long wait for a reply. Your comment somehow slipped past me. Hmmm, I think what you're describing comes from a French horn (or horn as the players like to call it, as there is nothing that French about it). The instruments are similar, both being conical-bore instruments, which gives them a mellower tone. Cheers!
Jon Harnum Thanks for replying. You're quite right in that French horns are often used that way, but in the TtoM7 it's so deep as to suggest an alpenhorn (something that hadn't occurred to me before). I wonder if they ever use those in an orchestra!
What kind of flugelhorn is that?
Is that Monette Trumpet?
I use two mouthpieces, both of them Monnette 'pieces, a B2, and a B2LS3. They're wonderful mouthpieces but are expensive, so be sure to try before you buy. They've got a lot of distributors out there and you can find more info on the Monette web site (monette[dot]net)
im looking for the most crisp most treble, sharpest brassy pitch for a flugelhorn, something close to the instrumental at the end of Ghost Town 12'. do you know where/what/who/how?
I don't know the reference tune, sorry. Anybody else?
Sweet! That is a trombone killing it at the end of the track....
and all this time i thought it was a flugel horn
I do play a Monette trumpet, but this is a Selmer flugelhorn...
it's not too bad, but you'll get a richer, more authentic flugel sound with a flugel mouthpiece, and it'll be easier to play in tune....
fromdetroit.the fluglehorn sounds like. Meatloaf singing a ballod and the trumpet sounds like David Lee Roth screaming a song.thnx
Perfect!
