Re: airy sound

No worries,
A flugelhorn is not as "resonant" as a trumpet. That means that the vibrant column of air in the instrument does not support your embouchure as well and that air is in fact escaping through the lips without being turned into sound. Once you have spent some time with the horn, this should go away!
