I dare dare this horn is perfect. It plays so nice and pretty it’s a shame to sell it. Played once at the Horntrader’s Flugel Fest early November 2023……. Now it’s a “DEMO”

Rare Lacquer Schilke Flugel Mode 1040FL. The clear lacquer takes the most meticulous care to make the exterior perfect because the slightest mark or flaw will show up from the manufacturing process. I dare dare this horn is perfect. It plays so nice and pretty it’s a shame to sell it. Played once at the Horntrader’s Flugel Fest early November 2023. Now it’s a “DEMO”

These Flugels play beautifully. The third valve trigger is very very easily operated which is a nice change from many flugels. All registers of this horn are very free blowing. In A/B test with one of my respected colleagues we went back and forth several times to the Yamaha and Schilke Booths at the NAMM show. The Schilke horn won every time hands down. Rick Baptist was so impressed he walked out with one that very same day and is rumored to be making a CD with this horn. It comes standard with both a small taper and large taper mouth-pipe, and there is an option to also purchase (for an extra cost) the french taper mouth-pipe. These horns take months to make. The HornTrader will has one availableNOW (unless I keep it for myself LOL) Also available in silver plate from the HornTrader.
