Messing around on my Getzen 4 valve flugelhorn (customised by Bryce Ferguson to add a trigger!) the pedals are a great way to relax and “massage” the chops. This helps to get the blood flowing! Playing on a larger mouthpiece than I usually do (a Bach 1 1/4CFL) so a bit of extra chop space inside to be able to manipulate the embouchure for the lower stuff (although a bit wobbly in places lol). I do occasionally record on this flugel and I used it on the Billy Elliot tour as it blended really nicely with the French Horn. My usual flugel is a Bach with a Bach 3CFL mouthpiece.
