The F3 flugelhorn features a large Yellow Brass bell, satin gold lacquer, heavy valve block and a tighter wrap. It provides more resonance and articulation and blends really well. It also gives a centered tone and is delivered with 2 leadpipes.
The Adams F3 flugelhorn features the F2 (heavier bronze) valve block. It has a bell that is slightly larger in diameter than the F2 (it is a bit over 170mm), and it also has a larger bell throat. The branch has a slightly tighter wrap, and you'll notice there's no brace between the branch and the bell, ensuring more resonance. The soldered bell lead provides extra core to the sound. This is the darkest flugel we make and has a velvety, chocolatey rich sound. It has an amazing tone quality and ease of playability.
The new F3 is not intended as a soloist instrument, but has been re-developed with the section player in mind. The result is a flugelhorn that blends extremely well.
