 Up for auction is a Custom Couesnon Martin Committee/Magna Flugelhorn copy  in good condition. I built this horn for myself several years ago after playing a Bach model 182 cornet wrap flugelhorn. It is clearly based off of the Martin committee/Magna Flugelhorn. As you will see in the picture is does come with two different leadpipes. One puts the horn in the key of Bb and the other puts the horn in the key of A. It sounds great using either leadpipe but I enjoyed playing oboe music with the A leadpipe for many years.  This instrument is in good working condition and plays very well. The valves move well and slides all move very well. As for the aesthetic condition of the horn, it has some dings, Light scratching, some minor blemishes, and spots of solder/nickel showing. Non of this effects the playability of the horn and it all can be seen in the pictures. This instrument has had the old lacquer removed for aesthetic reasons, as well as to improve the tone. Therefore, this instrument is pure metal, and may have to be polished every few months, if played often.The fingerprints should also be wiped off after playing. This trumpet does not come with the Monette mouthpiece in the pictures. I really loved this horn and I have recently built myself a new version of the horn only in Bb, so I am selling this one. If you are interested in this horn but are unsure just keep in mind that horn is returnable within the first 14 days (please read the return policy for exact details). Also If you or anyone else is interested in an exact Martin Committee or Magna copy Flugelhorn in Bb I can build one for you upon request. I am also able to build a custom Bach 182 Copy (using Bach Stradivarius Parts). Call with any questions you may have or if you are interested in examples of our work feel free to call as well. All horns are located at Silver & Brass Music Shop710 N. Curry St. Carson City, NV
