Amazing nice for its price, requires some effort to play in tune.
I play trumpet and needed a flugle for playing in bigband for ballads etc.(Before, I used to borrow a Yamaha Bobby Shew flugle so I was a little spoiled).
This instrument is very nice for what it costs. First, it is beautiful to look at and only upon closer inspection you will notice some manufacturing impurities (darker markings on the valve stems for example). The sound was surprising to me, it's a big and fairly resonant flugle sound. I mainly use a Denis Wick 4FL and with that, it is a rounder sound than what the Yamaha Bobby Shew produces, I like it. The trigger works well after applying a little slide grease, the valves need some breaking in. I am still hoping they get a little smoother but it is certainly not bad and not a dealbreaker for me. The intonation is where I experience difficulty. Again, at this pricepoint I feel bad even complaining but it's hard work if you want to play nicely in tune with your section.
Overall, great instrument if you don't yet want to spend the big bucks for a professional model.

I am satisfied with this Flugelhorn. I also tried the Thomann FH 600 G Bb-Flugelhorn, which has a more lyrical and soft sound, maybe more forgiving. In the end though I decided for the silver version, Thomann FH 600 GS Bb-Flugelhorn, which has a more distinct, clear sound, more silvery, with more expressive potential - or at least, it suits me better. The instrument also looks beautiful. At first the valves were very tight but after lubricating them a few times, this cleared up and they now work very well.

For the price it's a good buy!
I have had this for a number of years now. It still works fine. The only thing that needed changing was the 3rd valve guide which wore down. Great sounding instrument. Great for a beginner or for a player where this is not your primary instrument.
