Triumphonic Flugelhorn #3

This Triumphonic Flugelhorn has a unique wrap to the design. Instead of the usual flugelhorn tuning slide in the leadpipe, it has a tuning slide in the bow. Serial number is 19xxx.

I have seen reference to this wrap and design on various historical websites, so it is known, but not very common. I am curious as to why the design did not take off. The instrument plays very well.

Records indicate this instrument was manufactured on 26th October, 1926.

This instrument has been restored.

The original case came with this flugelhorn, which was a leather coffin case. Unfortunately it has deteriorated with age, and cannot be repaired.
