Van Laar Custom
4 Valve Flugelhorn

I ordered this horn directly from the factory. Previously, I always thought “I don’t play flugelhorn enough to warrant having a good one.” As it turns out, I didn’t play flugelhorn very much because I didn’t have a great one.

This instrument is special. This horn has a custom yellow brass bell - the room just lights up when you play it. It’s Palladium plated with a raw bell. The stand out feature is obviously the 4th valve. Van Laar tuned the 4th valve slightly lower than normal to facilitate intonation in the extreme low register.

This instrument is a custom order and is not featured on the Van Laar website.
