Van Laar B6-Flugelhorn
Bb small-bore flugelhorn · professional · current
The B6 Flugelhorn is somewhat similar to the BR3 but has a hand-hammered copper bell, which gives the instrument its silky, almost mellifluous tone. It can sound clear and resonant when played with more force but warm and broad in the softer dynamics.
