As an ex-trombone player (many, many years ago) and more recently a
trumpet and cornet player I am still unsure how to approach the flugel I
now play. Having listened to many good brass bands I see the flugel
player sitting in several different parts of the band. The sounds I hear
also seem to differ greatly. Some players make it sound like a large
cornet while others produce a darker richer sound which I find more
appropriate for the soprano member of the Saxhorn group. How much of
this is instrument..... how much player perception and technique?

I know there are several other flugel players on the list and I would
appreciate hearing their opinions.
