Message: [QUOTE="huskeynut, post: 3976857, member: 750"] The trumpet is a cylindrical bore instrument. The diamneter of the bore stays the same. The cornet & flugelhorn are conical bore. The diameter of the bore increases over the lenght of the horn. The difference is the flugelhorn has a wider bore than a cornet. The flugelhorn is used by many jazz artists for its softer sound. We have 3 trumpet players in the swing band and we all have flugelhorns. We're in the process of figuring out what charts we are going to the play the flugelhorns on. We have gigs in October, November and 2 in December. Each gig is a 2 hour show. 15 songs each hour or set. All four gigs will have different sets. So we have plenty of songs to choose from. [/QUOTE]
