Product Overview
The JFH1100RQ represents Jupiter's commitment to providing professional features in their Performance Series instruments, making quality flugelhorn performance accessible to intermediate players. The 6" rose brass bell offers the warmer tonal characteristics that distinguish flugelhorn from trumpet, providing the rich, mellow sound essential for jazz ballads, brass quintet work, and orchestral flugelhorn passages.
Professional engineering includes the .413" small bore design that provides excellent resistance characteristics for flugelhorn technique while maintaining free-blowing response. The lacquered finish enhances the rose brass bell's natural warmth while providing protection and durability for regular use. Hand-fitted dual-lapped Monel valves ensure reliable, smooth action that rivals instruments costing significantly more.
