Description Designed in collaboration with Thomas Gansch, and designed to be a flugelhorn partner to Thomas’s Ganschorn trumpet. This is a ‘vertical action rotary valve’ setup. The rotary valves allow for a unique articulation and transition between notes, but with the comfort and ‘ease of holding’ that an instrument with a vertical action provides. Like the “Ganschhorn”, the Killer Queen is a kind of symbiosis of a rotary and piston instrument. Thomas Gansch about his instrument: After my first concerts playing with the new Flugelhorn “Killerqueen” I am amazed how easy it is to play and what a great sound it has, even in the lower register. It is the best Schagerl Flügelhorn I have ever had. Thanks a lot for another great instrument – I can’t wait to see what Flügelhorns Schagerl will offer next. Finish: Brushed Silver Bell: 150 mm / 0,5 mm Goldbrass Valve Section: 10,6mm / vertical Leadpipe: Nickelsilver
