Technical Information
Design: - Proudly designed and made in UK Imperial inches and thousandths of an inch.
Valves: - Bottom sprung Monel Valves honed to 0.0002” (two ten-thousandths of an inch) on diameter.
Bore: - The diameter through the Valves is 0.429”.
Bell: - 7” diameter Traditional Flugel Copper/Zinc Alloy Bell turned on our own Mandrel is acoustically inexorably linked to the Ray Farr Flugel’s exacting intonation in all registers and its much-acclaimed sound projection. Zoe, ex-Black Dyke's comments when she reviewed a Ray Farr Flugel for The British Bandsman were "The intonation is the best that I have ever played, which I feel the other leading Flugels haven’t mastered yet” say it all.
Trigger: - An adjustable 3rd Valve Trigger is fitted as standard. We, humans, are all built differently of course so we've designed a malleable brass 3rd Valve Trigger that you can move to the most comfortable playing position for you.
Mouthpiece Shank: - Our specially designed Jarno Taper Shank suits the larger taper USA, Japanese & the Denis Wick "L" Flugel Mouthpieces (2FL, 3FL & 4FL) and Medium Shank tapers for Denis Wick Flugel Mouthpieces without an "L" (2F, 3F & 4F) enabling you to use any make or type of mouthpiece you like with a Ray Farr Flugel.
Waterkeys: - Main, 1st and 3rd "Proper" Lever Waterkeys fitted as standard.
Instrument Protection: - For our 7" Bell Traditional Flugels we include a very protective Ray Farr lightweight hard Case. Apart from the handle, it has a wide shoulder strap, adjustable deluxe rucksack straps and a zipped Accessory pocket. The Ray Farr Case is the correct size for cabin baggage on all airlines and can be taken onboard.
Mouthpiece: - We manufacture and supply the Ray Farr "CELEB" Model Flugel Mouthpiece with each instrument.
Valve Oil: We recommend and supply a bottle of the fabulous "La Tromba Special T2" valve oil - seriously fast!
