Jupiter JFH1100 Flugel Horn, Clear Lacquer Overview
The brass band standard. Ideally suited for traditional band music, the Jupiter JFH1100R in clear lacquer offers a bright and radiant sound. By using state of the art technology, Jupiter has been able to produce a rose brass body that holds accurate tuning in all registers. Usually only found on professional instruments, the rose brass bell and leadpipe will warm up and overall improve your tone.
Say goodbye to using valve oil every time you use your instrument. Crafted from a mixture of nickel and copper, the monel valves offer the most resilient and smoothest action around. The monel valves combined with the nickel silver slides produce a flugel horn that will last for years with minimal maintenance. Included with the Jupiter flugel is a hard case and mouthpiece so you can start practising straight away.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionLess Resistance - More Tone
This JFH1100R flugel horn is designed to provide you with a centred, precise tone - ideal for any musical setting. Similar to professional horns, the valves in the JFH1100R are crafted from monel. Monel is a nickel and copper alloy that is used by the majority of premium instruments. This is because monel valves are very dense and are more resistant to corrosion, meaning they won't flake and are less likely to seize up. Similar to other Jupiter instruments, the outer slides on the JTR1100RQ are made from nickel silver as they are resistant to corrosion
For an additional touch of luxury, the leadpipe, tuning slide are made from quality rose brass. Rose brass is popular among orchestral players for its ability to achieve much darker sounds than yellow brass can. This is because rose brass contains a higher amount of copper than yellow. To ensure you can always correct tuning, there is an adjustment trigger on the third valve which moves freely and effortlessly.

The dense case will keep your instrument looking, feeling, and sounding like new for longer. Also included is a mouthpiece so you can start playing straight away.
