I am offering for sale the Schilke 1040 FL model flugelhorn. This instrument is considered by many to be the finest flugelhorn made today. According to Woodwind and Brasswind: "The Schilke model 1040 flugelhorn is hand built to the highest standards. It is free-playing and has the has the consistency of response throughout all registers that has long been the distinguishing characteristic of all Schilke instruments. Warm, focused sound with excellent projection along with exceptionally smooth valve action make this Custom Series flugel a joy to play." The specifications are: * Custom built * .406" bore * 6" seamed rose brass bell * 3rd valve trigger * Main, 1st, and 3rd slide water keys * Comes with 2 lead pipes - Bach-style small morse taper, and Yamaha-style large morse taper I am selling this exceptional instrument without a case, but can include one or two mouthpieces if desired. There is a small red rot spot on the outside of the bell (which I assume was there from the time of manufacture), and the first valve top cap sticks a bit when unscrewing. The valves and slides themselves are impeccable. Please write if you have any questions. Please note that the shipping cost is Continental U.S. only. Higher prices will apply to international shipping, and in that case insurance is required.
