Our Ray Farr "Signature" 7-inch Bell Flugel Horn has the Bell on the Left-hand side, like a Cornet or Trumpet, providing comfort in holding the instrument our very satisied customers tell us. Because of this, the hand of course does not touch the Bell, enabling much greater sound projection. Again, customer comments.
Like our Traditional Flugel, our Signature Flugel has the most amazing sound and intonation, with even greater projection, blending perfectly with the Cornet and Horn sections and soaring impressively in solos.
That Amazing Sound
To hear the fine intonation and beautiful sound generated by our unique 7” Bell, just listen to Atlantic Brass Band (US Champions) and their Flugel player, Jack Deal, in his rendition of Peter Graham’s “Meditation”, played on a Ray Farr 7” Bell Flugel on our Home page. It’s all about the sound.
2023 Area Contest Velvet Comment
In the Midlands Area this year, the comment in the Champion Section about Gresley Colliery’s Flugel player’s solo in Red Priest was . . . “Like velvet”.
2024 Area Contest enthusiastic "We Won" Comments!
Gillian with City of Bristol Brass said "We won the 1st Section and I used my new Ray Farr Signature Flugel in the winning performance" YES!!!! And Paul from Northop in the Welsh 1st Section too! There were two other Ray Farr Flugels in winning performances, with high quality of tone and intonation regularly mentioned.
Gig Bag & Mouthpiece
Our Signature Flugel comes with a very protective Tom & Will Gig bag in Blue Cordura, a Ray Farr "CELEB" model Mouthpiece in 24 Carat Gold plate with Bright Silver plate Trim, Polishing Clothe and La Tromba T2 Fine Valve Oil.
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.
Manufacturing
We are currently working on a 4-week lead-time from Order through to Delivery for our Signature Flugels.
Personalised Serial Number
The instrument’s Serial Number/Reference location is known only to us and the customer and is secretly engraved in a non-visible location so it can't be found and removed by a crook if stolen. When making your instrument, we can personalise and engrave a unique Serial Number/Reference of your choice up to 14 digits/letters, as long as it is not currently on another Ray Farr Flugel.
