(2) alto in B♭, same compass as cornet in B♭ but mellower in tone. (3) ten. in E♭ (sometimes called Altflügelhorn or Althorn) or sometimes in F.

flügelhorn

The Columbia Encyclopedia, 6th ed. | 2011 | Copyright

flügelhorn , three-valved brass instrument similar in size and shape to the trumpet but having a conical rather than a cylindrical bore and possessing a larger bell. Because of these differences the tone of the flügelhorn is mellower than that of the trumpet. It is used traditionally in concert bands and has recently been used in jazz ensembles.
