Here's a Back model 182 Stradivarius Flugelhorn, serial number 95071. The fine instrument pictured here is the exact one you will receive should you choose to purchase.This instrument, a favorite model of Woody Shaw for a time, is one of the more unique flugelhorn designs ever produced. Keyed to Bb and with the same range as a Bb trumpet or cornet, the 182 produces a dark and lyrical tone, especially in the middle registers. With a bore designed to capture the tonal colors of traditional European flugelhorns with the playability and comfort of the Bach Stradivarius trumpets, many describe its sound as a midpoint between the two types of horn.The 182 Flugelhorns had a long production life, winning the hearts and ears of many professional players, though they are considered by many to be somewhat rare to be found on the market today. This horn has some cosmetic blemishes, most notably a dent on the bell (pictured) The original case also has some major cosmetic blemishes but is very sturdy and nice inside.
