Description
The 4 valve Sergei Nakariakov flugelhorn!
Big thanks to Antonio at AR Resonance for making such an incredible instrument in every fashion. As you know, he is the trumpet maker of the world famous Russian virtuoso Sergei Nakariakov and I do believe this is one of the prototypes he made for him. This one has a huge bell as you can see made out of bronze. It also has the most wonderful dual first and third valve trigger!
Key Features:
-
Model: Nakariakov Artist Model
-
Bell Material: Phosphor Bronze
-
Finish: Raw
-
Included: 2 Leadpipes
Why This Flugelhorn Stands Out:
Now you can play the same model as one today's best classical Musicians! This Artist model is absolutely brilliant in playability, and the manufacturing on this horn is incredibly precise. An all new trigger mechanism allows the player to access a true double pedal C and fixes most intonation problems inherent in flugelhorns!
Here is a video of this horn in Action!
A.R. Resonance Says:
"These horns took a little bit more of 4 years (one per piston!) to develop. All of the parts, from the humongous 185mm bell down to the smallest of the screws have been modeled in 3D.
Using cutting edge 5 axis CNC machines and softwares we developed a production system that allows for a level of precision never seen in the brass instrument industry.
All machinable parts are turned or milled from solid material and all the connection bits are designed to perfectly match. It’s like a Lego set with a giant bell!
The double trigger mechanism has been conceived to be operated just with the left thumb. With a clever linkage both the first and third slides will move at the same time.
This allows not only for a longer throw (which eliminates all the famous intonation problems with 4 valve flugelhorns) but also to extend the range to a true double pedal C.
Gone are the days of lip bending notes in place.
The loop for the 4th valve is in bronze and has a bigger bore than the rest of the instrument to achieve a full sound with and consistent blow feel when going into pedal and double pedal notes.
The third slide is curled up both for aesthetic purposes and to give better access to the fourth slide.
The instrument is provided with two machined nickel leadpipes, one for the super deep Sergei Nakariakov mouthpieces, one for the normal kinds."
