No, cornets are not harder to play than trumpets. In fact, many people find the trumpet to be easier to play than the cornet. The reason for this is that the trumpet has a wider bore than the cornet, which makes it easier to get a good sound out of the instrument. The trumpet also has a slide that can be used to change the pitch of the instrument, which makes it easier to play in tune.
Yes, you can play flugelhorn if you play trumpet. The flugelhorn is a brass instrument that is similar to the trumpet, but has a wider bore and a conical bell. The flugelhorn is typically used in jazz and brass bands, and has a mellower sound than the trumpet.
A good flugelhorn can cost anywhere from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars. The price will depend on the brand, the quality, and the features.
The mellophone is a brass instrument that is very similar to the French horn. The main difference between the two instruments is that the mellophone is larger and has a more conical bore. The mellophone is usually pitched in the key of F, which makes it a perfect choice for bands that need a French horn but can't afford one.

Compared to the Hawk I bought when I started learning how to play the flugelhorn two years ago, this horn is a significant improvement. With its subpar valve fittings and general construction, the Hawk is a nightmare. The Bach, in comparison, operates smoothly and produces a lovely sound. I think the instrument is a good deal at the going rate.

Because I wanted a flugelhorn and the pricing was right—make that VERY right—I gambled on this product. We tend to be wary of low costs, which is why I say I was taking a gamble. Here, there were five positive customer testimonials. Additionally, every positive review of the Allora model I could locate online. I must admit, though, that I've had bad experiences relying on user feedback. However, I'm writing one right now because I was honestly shocked when I received this horn. It is simply wonderful, and it is.This Allora shocked me with its weight given my prior expertise with trumpets (but no prior experience with flugelhorns). It seems like a big instrument to me. The four clear photographs Amazon gave make it appear quite slender and possibly even delicate, but I can assure you that it is sturdy. Everything you see in the photographs accurately depicts how well-built and exceptionally well-made it is. Each and every one of the fittings, bracing, slides, locks, and spit valves is precisely fitted, easily operational, and well sprung. The valves operate quietly and smoothly, and the pinky lever on the right side is also well-built and slides easily. A telescoping lead pipe with a twist key lock is used for tuning; once again, it is solid, tight, and smooth.The construction quality of this instrument is incredible, especially given the cost. Although some have stated that any differences between the Allora flugel and those of the large players like Yamaha would be negligible at best and probably not audible to the ordinary listener, I can't claim to be an expert in this area. Visit WWBW.com to hear it for yourself. There, you'll find a brief video of a store employee playing a few notes. That impressed me so much that I finally decided to take a "risk" on my buy.It does come with a hard-shell cover, though it wasn't indicated anywhere that I could see, and while it won't look particularly impressive, it will do a great job of protecting this little beauty. It does not come with any form of attachments, lubricating or cleaning supplies, or even a simple handbook.I've read online rumors, conjectures, and strongly held but incorrect beliefs about where the horn is made, from China to Timbuktu and beyond, but a trustworthy source claims that it is made in the former East Germany, in a factory that the Soviets abandoned when they fled in the 1990s and that modern-day Germany as a whole rebuilt.I purchased a three-year protection plan, but I'm not sure if I'll ever use it.

My wife finds the idea of spit valves repulsive. She doesn't seem to understand when I try to explain that the substance is actually condensed water vapor rather than spit. And her suggestion that I empty the valve into a yogurt pot disgusts me even more (a spitoon by any other name). I leaped at the opportunity when I saw the WindSorb on Amazon. Indeed, I received two.Although the maker states that it is only for trumpet, I decided to give it a try on cornet as well.I've only tried the Windsorb on four horns so far.Bach Strad 180S37, first. The Windsorb fits like a glove. Issue is resolved. I am able to practice for a long time without leaving a mess on the ground. I'm pleased because my wife is happy, so there.Jupiter JTR600ML, second. A wonderful fit once more. Although I haven't tried the Windsorb on the third valve slide, I don't frequently empty that.3) Cornet Jupiter JCR520. a suitable fit. The Windsorb goes over the cornet's Amati valves quite nicely. The strut between the leadpipe and the third valve slide is the source of the issue. The Windsorb just clips the strut on British-style (short/crook) sheperd's cornets, thus you have to attach it somewhat crooked.4) Soprano cornet, Kawai KCR500. The fit is significantly worse on a soprano cornet because the strut is so far forward that the Windsorb must be attached at an awkward angle.It receives a strong 5* for Bb trumpet players.Shepherd's Crook Cornet players will still rate it as a 4* due to the minor "camber," but Sop players will likely rate it as a 3* due to the dangerous angle it must be at. It might not be an issue with all cornets (especially American long-model cornets), and if you were ready to sever the Windsorb with a knife (I'm not), you could definitely fix it.If you have a trumpet, buy this. Your significant other, the non-brass musicians in your band or symphony, your audience, and the managers of the venues where you perform will all adore you for the rest of time, and you won't ever hear "Ewww! Gross!!!! Exactly what are you doing?"

For the record, I play trumpet in addition to trombone, and I've been playing brass instruments for about ten years. For what it's worth, it does a fantastic job. I got this on a whim. Unlike other plastic instruments, the mouthpiece that comes with the horn is metal, marked "Tromba," but otherwise has no size marks. I'll take another reviewer's word that it was a replica of the Denis Wick 4FL.In case you ever need to change the present valve stems or springs, it also includes a gig bag, a cleaning snake, two brushes (one for your valves and one for your mouthpiece), and an extra set of valve stems and springs. Though unnecessary, it was nonetheless a wonderful touch.Positives: It is plastic and strong. Naturally, it's also quite light. Nice, calm, pleasant tone Nice and quick valves (faster than my King Silver Flair... should probably get that checked out). Tuning slides are free to move.Cons: It is in tune from a low C (concert Bb) to above-staff F (concert Eb). However, instead of the expected G, a slightly sharp F# is present (concert E). Although it can be lipped, it is incredibly flat and practically useless. Above an A (concert G), it becomes extremely erratic and challenging to manage. I pulled out my tuner and kept switching between the notes A and A# (but another reviewer said this is common among other flugelhorns as well).Like many other trumpets and instruments that resemble trumpets, the valves don't "sit" in the valve case or click or lock into place. It becomes somewhat of a guessing game where they align and requires some twisting (hint: the locking pegs; if you purchase the horn, you'll understand what I mean). They are also rather noisy, and it can be quite noticeable to depress them while playing a quick passage.In general, I approve. I've never played a plastic instrument before, however I have played a pBone, and those aren't half terrible either. It's probably not something I'd use for a real performance, but it's wonderful to have around for practice. Upon arrival, the horn had no cracks, leaks, or other damage. The horn is shipped in a Tromba box and appears to be just as described.

I was introduced to the flugelhorn for the first time when I acquired the horn. I've been intermittently playing cornet and trumpet for more than 40 years. My lips are taking some getting used to the deep V cup of the flugelhorn because I usually use a "C" shape cup. Overall, the instrument is well constructed. Even if I just play occasionally, I believe it will be adequate for me. I am pleased with the price and have already created some very lovely (and quiet) sounds on it. I think I'll keep it because it gives my playing a different sound. Although I am not going from cornet to flugelhorn, a deep V cup short shank cornet mouthpiece is on its way. Playing this horn has made me yearn for a dual sound on my cornet, which is my primary instrument. Greetings, Tromba. This is a relatively inexpensive way to acquire that sound for its intended use, the occasional Flugel player. And finally, I can stop worrying about dents and dings so my grandchildren may play on it!
No, the flugelhorn is not harder to play than the trumpet. In fact, many people find the flugelhorn to be an easier instrument to play because of its larger size and more ergonomic design. The flugelhorn also has a more mellow sound than the trumpet, which some people prefer.
The flugelhorn is a brass instrument that is most often used in jazz and concert bands. It has a warm, mellow sound that is similar to that of a trumpet, but it is slightly lower in pitch. The flugelhorn is considered to be a versatile instrument, and it can be used in a variety of genres, including classical, pop, and rock.
The 4th valve on a flugelhorn is used to lower the pitch of the instrument by a whole step. This can be useful when playing in a lower register, or when playing in a key that has a lot of sharps or flats.
The cornett, or cornet as it is commonly known, is a brass musical instrument with a conical bore that is similar to that of the baritone horn and trumpet, but smaller. The cornet is used in orchestras, concert bands, and brass bands. It is also used as a solo instrument in a variety of genres including jazz, ska, and rock. The flugelhorn is a brass musical instrument with a conical bore that is similar to that of the trumpet, but larger. The flugelhorn is used in orchestras, concert
The easiest brass instrument to play is the trumpet. Trumpets are easy to play because they only have three valves, which are easy to press. Trumpets are also easy to read music for because the notes are written in treble clef.
