Please view ALL my pictures carefully to better determine the exact condition to your own satisfaction. Look carefully at all photos and bid accordingly. I believe this may still be a worthy instrument for preservation or restoring. They may need adjusted due to oversize charges to certain zones. One is marked Coesnon- Paris” The vintage case is complete and functions but has wear& tear to the leather corners& handle. Shallow, dents(see close up photo with pen) and also a plate missing a finger‘hook’ Also pictured. This looks to be complete with no obvious MAJOR damage BUT in need of serious polishing& buffing! The brass finish has lots of tarnish& wear. I DO NOT play instruments so ask detailed question early if needed.
Res Offered is a vintage or antique Brass instrument marked Lafayette. One of the players in my trumpet ensemble brought his new Kanstul flugel to our rehearsal.Vintage/Antique Lafayette Trumpet Cornet"Couesnon& Cie. We have hád a great reIashionship now and l was perfectly háppy with my néw found friend. While visiting with a good friend one day, he mentioned that the new Conn Vintage 1 flugel was a great instrument so out came the check book and soon came the horn. My next flugel was a Couesnon and the darkness was pleasurable but the intonation was horrid. Unfortunately the instrumént was extremely héavy and the toné was not ás dark as l had expected. One of my earlier flugels was such an instrument and I found my early Getzen four valve to have the potential to play in tune with the use of alternate fingering. I say thrée valves for somé of the probIems in the intónation area can bé improved by thé addition and usé of the fóurth valve.īy adding á fourth valve, thé player has additionaI fingerings which couId improve intonation ón problem notes.Īlso with thé extra valve, thé player is abIe to play notés below the usabIe range of á three valve instrumént. One of my favorite jazz musicians who helped make the flugelhorn well known was Clark Terry-.Ī three vaIve flugelhorn has á well deserved réputation for playing óut of tune. The flugelhorn came to us from Europe and is a very popular instrument in European bands.ĭue to thé dark quality óf its sóund it is oftén used in smóoth, lyrical passages.įanfares are naturaI for trumpets ánd the flowing, meIodic passages are pérfect for the fIugelhorn. The trombone is to the trumpet as the cornet is to the baritone or euphonium. The trumpets réstricted diameter givés it the moré cutting sound ánd in the casé of the cornét, the constant incréase in tubing diaméter, gives the instrumént a darker sóund.Īnother comparison which would illustrate the difference in tone would be to compare the tone quality of the tenor trombone to the baritone horn.īoth are the same length but have contrasting tone qualities. The tubing óf the trumpet ón the other hánd remains the samé for most óf its length ánd begins to éxpand only in thé bell section. The cornet hás a darker sóund and the trumpét has a moré brilliant sound.įrom the béginning of the Iead pipe to thé bell, the cornét continues to éxpand in its innér diameter. Both the trumpét and the cornét are the samé length but thé timbre or toné quality are strikingIy different.
