[Features]
Queen Brass is a brand born from a collaboration between Hoxxon, a company that supplies instruments and parts to brands around the world, and Machida Trading, which has long handled high-end European brass instrument brands. This instrument is a highly practical flugelhorn, packed with the functions needed on stage without compromise.
Unlike a typical flugelhorn, the main tuning slide is positioned toward the front like a trumpet. It can also be adjusted from the mouthpiece side, giving you a high degree of freedom to match the setting, and the easy access to the inside of the tubing is also an advantage for everyday cleaning. It also comes with a mouthpipe for trumpet shank, and combining it with a trumpet mouthpiece that has a deeper cup may further improve tone quality and control in some cases.
The sound produced by the 152 mm red brass bell is soft, smooth, and pleasantly warm with excellent cohesion. Added to that is the clear response created by the clear-lacquer finish, so it blends naturally not only in jazz and solo settings, but also in wind ensembles and ensembles. Its sweetness never becomes excessive, and its ease of use across a wide range of situations is part of this model’s appeal.
Ease of handling, practical functions, and a warm tone characteristic of a flugelhorn. It is precisely the excellence of that balance that makes this model so appealing. Easy to choose as a first instrument, and equally easy to choose as your main flugelhorn, it is a highly finished model whose price is also attractive.
