- Re-inventing the flugelhorn game: ACB Show and Tell of the AR Resonance 4-valve flugel
[links in description]
Please pardon the random low notes on this video. I'm still getting used to this instrument. Big thanks to Antonio at AR Resonance for making such an incredible instrument in every fashion. As you know, he is the trumpet maker of the world famous Russian virtuoso Sergei Nakariakov and I do believe this is one of the prototypes he made for him. We picked it up at this year's ITG conference and just got it into the shop late last week. This one has a huge bell as you can see made out of bronze. It also has the most wonderful dual first and third valve trigger as you can see in the video. I am using a very deep mouthpiece that he originally made for Sergei.
This has the absolute most even scale I've ever played at flugelhorn. Even with the new mouthpiece and different ergonomically out versus my flugelhorn it's really incredible to be honest, playing up to high A’s can be done in a breeze, even with a massively deep cup. The sound is rich, full, warm, and GIANT. I am not using a high-end mic on this clip (I will try to record a song in my home studio sometime soon) but I think it sounds magnificent.
What do you think?
Now as of the time of this video we do not have this horn listed but here’s a listing to all of the offerings we carry from AR.

UPDATE: the horn is now listed and even at a slight discount due to it's protoype nature!

Yeah Trent, the horn sounds real nice. ❤️ from dB.
Thanks dB! Hope you are groovy!
Wow!!!! I’m amazed by, despite the size the horn, how centered and efficient it sounds. It doesn’t sound tubby at all, just very rich and warm 😊
Amazing! That is something else !
it's pretty spectacular for sure!
That horn sounds superb, just imagine how good it would play with an accompaniment.
Love at first, second, and third sight!!!!!!
Finally, a four valve flugelhorn. I have been wanting to see one featured here for a long time. Did you say what metal was used? It looks like there is a high copper content in the instrument. Great sound. I think this is one of the best sounding flugelhorns I have heard in a while. I have one historical question about the flugelhorn, Why are they built backwards from a trumpet? The bell is placed on the opposite side of the valve block from where one would expect it to be on a trumpet. has anyone ever built a flugelhorn with the bell on the same side of the valve block as it would be found on a trumpet or a trumpet with the bell on the same side of the valve block as a flugelhorn? I love the sound of this instrument. Great video, great instrument.
I believe the bell is phosphor bronze and the leadpipe nickel silver
Perinet trumpet design didn't really become settled until I think the mid-20th century, when the Besson basically became the template for so many designs. You can occasionally find older trumpets, particularly in Belgium, that are built and wrapped similarly to Flugelhorns.
Beautiful flugelhorn absolutely awesome design needs a nice finish on it though, I don’t like raw finishes.
❤❤❤
Very nice in every way. Would love a comparo with Adams v AR v Bohme flugels. Then compare each with that AR mp and your typical flugel mp.
Well since Martin's horns are a year wait that's not going to happen
Great sound and exceptional range with the addition of the fourth valve and a master playing of course. Going to be a big hit! Out my price range for sure!✝️🇺🇸🧞
