| Re: Hub van Laar Flugelhorns
I'm endorsing Hub van laar instruments so needless to say I'm very happy with my horns. Hub has 6 models:
B1 the one I'm playing now (see my YouTube vids)
B2 is like the B1, but has a goldbrass bell
B3 is has a bigger bell, so a broader sound and bigger feel.
B4 is a new model, very compact but has a nice dark/warm sound (it's on my wishlist)
Oiram a very nice flugelhorn, maybe more jazzy. Paolo Fresu is playing one.
Ack van Rooijen model. Ack is one of the best flugelhorn players around. I believe it's something like a mix of an Oiram and a B2
I don't know the price range in the U.S. In Europe prices start round € 2000,- for the B1-B4, the Oiram is 500,- more I think. |
