Kanstul 1025 "Chicago" Bb Flugelhorn – Rare Factory Copper Bell – Excellent Condition
Up for sale is a stunning and highly sought-after Kanstul 1025 "Chicago" Bb Flugelhorn, featuring a rare, factory-upgraded copper bell.
While the standard Kanstul 1025 is famous for its compact, focused jazz sound with a yellow brass bell, this rare copper bell variant elevates the instrument to another level. It provides an incredibly warm, dark, and velvety tone with a quick response, making it an absolute dream for soloists, jazz musicians, and studio players.
Condition
-
Overall: Excellent, near-new condition. The horn has been meticulously cared for and shows virtually no lacquer wear, scratches, or raw spots.
-
Bell Repair: The horn previously had one small crease professionally rolled out of the bell. The repair was done expertly (please see the detailed photos). It is purely cosmetic, smooth to the touch, and has zero impact on the instrument's incredible resonance, intonation, or projection.
-
Valves & Slides: The premium Monel valves are lightning-fast, smooth, and have excellent compression. All slides move freely and seal perfectly.
