ACB Show & Tell: XO Brass 1646R Flugelhorn with a Red Brass Bell! Rich Sounding Professional Flugel

This XO flugelhorn might surprise you! We were really excited to get this as a trade-in towards and Adams instrument because this Jupiter is fantastic too! Really fun to play, and in excellent condition.
This is a classic "french style" flugelhorn with a smaller bore and a really warm sound. The red brass bell gives it a wonderful richness, and the short throw valve block is one of my favorites. This is a really well made flugelhorn. Professional quality at a very fair price point.
I'm using our ACB Fab 5 flugelhorn mouthpiece in this video with no reverb at all (our horn demo videos are always first takes with no artificial sweetening).

I'm glad you love playing all these horns as your job!

[@austincustom]

I do!

[@chuckbeers2540]

Hi, Intonation sounds pretty spot on. Sure looks made well!

[@austincustom]

It is well made!

[@jamesroberts3642]

Would you say the sound from this is closer to a Kanstul 1525 than something like an Eclipse flugel (or even a Carol Brass)?

[@andrerezende7948]

IMO, it sounds better than any of the Yamahas

[@austincustom]

These flugels are certainly underrated.

[@pebblebeach8517]

How will this stack up to Carol Brass flugelhorn? I’ve played the CB a few times the valves are lightning fast but their sound is just very average ...thx you

[@austincustom]

I think the Jupiter is much better in every aspect.
