I have a Barrington flugel, it's great for what I paid. The intonation is fairly solid considering typical flugel intonation issues. Valves have stained up considerably but are still smooth. The casings are very roughly honed but have never been a problem for me. I have been using Ultra Pure oils on the horn. The oil keeps the horn clean and working great.

The flugel has a great finish and clean solder joints, a rose brass bell. The only thing I replaced was the case, very cheap.

I bought this flugel as a trial for flugelhorn, I have since acquired an old D.E.G. flugel and the sound is night and day. The DEG is much more fluid and smooth. You may want to buy a different mouthpiece.

For the price of the Barrington it's not such a risk so... try it out.
