"flugelhorn"の定義と意味

What is a "flugelhorn"?

A flugelhorn is a brass instrument with a shape and sound similar to a trumpet but with a more mellow and rounded tone. It has a coiled tubing and a flared bell, and it uses three valves to change the pitch. The player produces sound by buzzing their lips into a mouthpiece, and the pitch is adjusted by pressing the valves. The flugelhorn is known for its warm, rich sound and is used in various musical genres, including jazz, brass bands, and orchestras. Its smooth tone and versatility make it a popular choice for both solo performances and ensemble playing.
