Re: Corno da caccia VS Flugelhorn

Thank you guys and sorry for the mistake

I took the wrong information from here:

(Piccolo Sound)http://www.trumpetmaster.com/vb/146/piccolo-sound-29982-3.html

My fault...Sorry

The direction of the sound for sure is an important characteristic of the sound, but I believe it's not the only difference.

When I see the pictures I feel that the bell flare of the corno da caccia is a little different from the bell flare of the flugelhorn. I feel that the flugelhorn is more conical and has a larger throat, but a smaller diameter. On the other hand the bell of the corno da caccia is more like the horn's bell.
The bell of Nakariakov's flugelhorn has the characteristic I described above. The Courtois NR156 (not the regular R156) has a throat that is not really large, but the end of the bell is almost 200 mm. The sound of his flugel horn is completely different from the others.

Is the sound of the corno da caccia somewhat like Nakariakov's sound?
