Something I forgot to add - try a deep cup flugel mouthpiece. It'll give you that darker flugel sound you need. Also, don't expect a flugel to play like a trumpet - they are different animals, designed for different purposes. Never approach them the same way! You will not have the same type of range on flugel - flugels are meant for a dark mellow sound, not for range. Think breathy ballad or bossa, not MF feature :)
