F. Sudre/Halari - - Flügelhorn - France - 1895

Flügelhorns are brass instruments closely related to the trumpet, characterized by a wider, conical bore and mellow tone. Manufactured in France in 1895 by makers F. Sudre and Halari, this flügelhorn likely reflects 19th-century instrument craftsmanship. Flügelhorns are common in brass bands, jazz ensembles, and orchestral settings, valued for their smooth, lyrical sound suited to melodic passages and warm backgrounds. Historical instruments like this are appreciated for their artistry and as examples of period-specific construction techniques and design, attracting both players and collectors interested in antique brass instruments.
