USA BUYERS BEWARE: I bought this from the Thomann page for 484 dollars, including shipping. However, UPS sent me an email and informed me I had to pay 120 dollars extra due to the tariffs and other miscellaneous things like that. Even at a 600 dollar price point, it's cheaper than competitors in the "budget flugel" market, and sounds incredible!!!
I bought this flugelhorn after my college refund came through, I figured that I'd need one at some point, but not one that costs thousands of dollars. I started digging. I played the ACB Doubler's Flugel at the International Trumpet Guild this past year and was thoroughly impressed by the quality of such an affordable instrument. I also knew about Thomann, and the price of their flugels, so I watched videos on those too. I decided to bite the bullet on the Thomann, I saw many good reviews and comparisons to horns thousands of dollars more and was very impressed. After unboxing it and playing it for several hours, I am even MORE impressed! This horn is incredible for the price that you pay, and sound wise, is on level with professional flugelhorns. My friends were all shocked after I told them the actual price of this flugelhorn when they heard it being played. The shipping is remarkably fast as well, getting from Germany to the US in 4-5 days over the weekend. I am IN LOVE with this horn!!! If you need a flugel as a student, or even as a professional, don't doubt the abilities of this horn!!!
