How many of you own a flugelhorn? Did you have any problem going to it from the trumpet?

Flugelhorns have a deeper mouthpiece, and normally every pro trumpet player must play one sometimes... Jazz players are switching back and forth throughout a performance constantly.

Okay, but do you own one, and when you first played one was there any problem adapting?

I own and play two - a Yamaha four-valve and a Getzen four-valve. Switching over isn't really that tough, but it does take a moment to adapt top the variation in mouthpiece and the difference in back pressure. The chops have to work a bit differently, like going from the parallel bars to the rings in gymnastics - get the idea?

It's been a while since I did any gymnastics. Anyway the trumpet player hired for the flugelhorn part (we borrowed the instrument) had no difficulty I could detect aurally at the session Saturday. (It looked to me, though, as if she had to hold her right hand differently, that the valves were harder to push down at that angle.)

it's pretty much the same it just has a more mellow sound and it takes a lil more resistance to play. and i also on a getzen flugel (my trumpet is a getzen too) and it wasn't hard for me at all to adapt to it.
