Vintage Couesnon Paris Bb Flugelhorn The Couesnon flugelhorn has been the holy grail of flugel's for jazz players for decades. These are the legendary flugels that the likes of Freddie Hubbard, Donald Byrd, Shorty Rogers and Art Farmer. Because of their smoky dark sound, vintage Couesnons are highly sought after by top players. This flugel is no exception and has the warm buttery sound we all search for in a flugel. 2nd valve casing is stamped “B” on middle valve. The mouthpiece receiver is stamped “10 v” although I have no idea what any of this means. Serial # 82289. Circa early 1970's. This flugel has been well looked after and in beautiful condition. Valves and slides are smooth and in great shape. No repairs. No leaks. No patches. Original lacquer finish. Excellent compression. Just a few small dings from normal use. This horn has benefitted from a 3rd slide trigger which the previous owner had expertly installed. Works perfectly and makes this wonderful sounding flugel very user friendly! Perfect not just for jazz gigs but for show & commercial work etc. A fabulous vintage Couesnon in amazing shape! You won't see many like this one.
The horn can be blown either in Central London or High Wycombe. Seller is a professional player - please email with any questions or even better send me an offer! You can also reach me on 07831 704007.
