[edit] Soprano?
Whoever thinks a flugelhorn is a soprano instrument is wrong. The soprano member of the fluegelhorn family (which is not actually a saxhorn anyway -- it's a keyed bugle) as well as the soprano saxhorn are E-flat instruments. Here's a pretty good and accurate history of the fluegelhorn. Jpgordon 17:43, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- These statements are too absolutist and simplistic. There isn't a consensus on the origin; and it does indeed cover the soprano range. 138.37.199.199 13:29, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Flugelhorn abbreviation
Hi, what is the abbr for flugelhorn? flg? flghorn? greetz, FAThomssen 19:06, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
- Not sure - I have seen flg or flug used, but I am not sure what is "official". 138.37.199.199 13:29, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
- In Finale Notation Software, the abbreviation used is Flghn. Lots of letters. Kilobytezero 17:01, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
http://www.howardblake.com/abbreviations.php uses flhn, and this seems to me a good abbreviation. I don't know how close to "official" it is, but most of the other instrumental abbreviations at this site are authoritative. TheScotch (talk) 07:07, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Tom Crapper and His Hydroscatic Flugelhorn
Although I admire the bluff in a way, it's really not that hard to look things up in the OED. The odd thing was not that there isn't any mention of Thomas Crapper in the flugelhorn entry, it's that there is no flugelhorn entry. RHD2 has an entry for flugelhorn, which is unsurprisingly Crapperless.--NapoliRoma 00:56, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fanfare-orchestra?
The "Musical tone" section of this article currently includes this sentence: "The flugelhorn is the melody-instrument of a fanfare-orchestra.". What is a "fanfare-orchestra"? TheScotch (talk) 06:49, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
