Blessing Artist Flugelhorn with Bach Mouthpiece and Dual Horn Case

About This Listing

Blessing Artist

Flugel Horn

Excellent condition, serviced December 2017

Elkhart IN, USA

  Selling an early Elkhart Blessing Artist Flugel horn. Horn was purchased circa 1987, and gently used. This well cared for horn projects a solid round tone throughout the entire range, and is easy to control. Most recently serviced at Osmun Brass in Acton MA, the horn looks and functions beautifully. There a few nicks on the main tubing consistent with normal wear, that do not interfere with airflow. The valves are aligned, balanced and offer a quick and quiet response. All tuning slides are lubricated and move freely. This horn comes with the original Blessing dual horn hard case with both top and side handles. Case is in very good condition. It also has some light corrosion, consistent with normal wear, that is pictured (the only reason I put this as "very good" instead of "excellent".

I taught a brass instrument class and used this instrument to play along with the students learning. I am selling now as I no longer teach this class. It is a solid and reliable instrument that sounds great and the case is really a bonus as it is a dual case and in great condition considering the age.
