Flugel outfitting

Good evening everyone,

So I was thinking. After I finish my degree, I really want to go on and do some jazz studying (diploma or whatever). Soooooo, I was kind of half thinking of getting a flugel over this summer so that I can spend the better part of my last year (2005 / 06) at school getting used to it.

So what I need from you guys are probably the same ol' questions you always get.

Any suggestions on names, models, prices would be great (please indicate American or Canadian). Also, any opinions of horns would help out alot.

And of course, the Mouthpiece. I really don't know how to fit mysef for one. Should I have the same specifications as my normal Bb piece?

I will be in Ottawa for the entire summer starting next tuesday, so if anyone can give me some names of stores....


I am Honestly a flugel horn virgin. I have never owned one or know how one should 'properly' be played. So any advice on the flugel that you folks can give, I'll love to hear it.

Yours
Eric S.
