Triumph Compact Flugelhorn

This Triumph Flugelhorn is very different, and may be a copy of a late 1800's Higham Flugelhorn. Serial number is 14xxx.

It was found in very dirty condition, partially disassembled and in the original (but unservicable) leather case. The second valve slide and a bottom valve cap were missing.

This flugel has been cleaned up and a few parts loaned from other instruments. It can play, but the leadpipe is in three pieces, and there are significant air leaks despite the tape used to hold the lead pipe together.

Records indicate this instrument was manufactured in 1916.
