Van Laar BR3-Flugelhorn
Bb small-bore flugelhorn · professional · current
A warm, cloudy sound is characteristic for the BR3 flugelhorn. Because of its large bell (160 mm), the tone is full, round and expansive. In the low and middle register (the latter is particularly important for a flugelhorn) it is distinguished by a wealth of overtones and colorful sound spectrum. The notes engage well, and are quick and easy to find. The rounded design gives a completely new feel as regards wind resistance.
