Leblanc F357 Arturo Sandoval Flugelhorn

Brand

Leblanc

The Leblanc F357 was designed for jazz great Arturo Sandoval. It is especially noted for flexibility, note-bending, and handling extreme dynamics without breaking up. Unlike other flugelhorns sporting a gold brass or red brass bell, the Sandoval model features a solid copper branch and bell. The result is a rich, velvety, and dark sound characteristic of vintage horns. The valves have hand-lapped Monel material with stainless steel springs and silent one-point, non-metal piston guides. There are hand-lapped inside and outside brass slides, 3rd slide trigger with 7/8" throw. Comes with deluxe wood shell double case with room for both a flugelhorn and a Bb trumpet. Features music compartment, dual handles and brass hardware. -Bore: .421" -Leadpipe: Tunable -Leadpipe Material: Yellow brass -Bell: 6.5" -Bell Material: Copper -Valves: Hand-lapped Monel pistons -1st Valve Slide Adjustment: n/a -3rd Valve Slide Adjustment: Slide trigger -Features: Silent valve guides, 7/8" throw trigger, solid copper bell -and branch, Amado water keys. -Case: Wood case with room for flugelhorn and Bb trumpet -Mouthpiece: Bach 1 -Finish: Lacquer Features 0421" Bore Copper Bell Silent Valve Guides 7/8" Throw Trigger Comes with Case
