| The flugelhorn was made by a company called Hawkes (before they merged with Boosey to become Boosey and Hawkes or B&H) and the model is from their top of the range line called Clippertone.
My father (who has a collection of around 70, mostly vintage, brass instruments) has one of these as well as a Clippertone soprano cornet.
They are both really beautiful instruments and still play extremely well.
The flugelhorn solo on the sound track was not played by Tara but by a little-known, former brass band soloist by the name of Maurice Murphy.
By the way, the film is based on a true story.
All the best. Noel.
