Couesnon Star Flugelhorn SN# 74050 (manufactured late 1967 early 1968)
Excellent sounding Flugel!!!!! SN# 74050 Silver Plate with gorgeous bell engraving up to the 1st valveand this horn looks great. Valves are excellent. Horn plays GREAT! If you want a dark warm sounding flugel this is the one! Excellent fast valves. Smokey dark flugel sound. This horn is the bomb! No other flugel compares with the sound of Couesnon Flugel! Couesnon Flugelhorn, SN# 74050 On the 2nd Valve It's stamped "N". Bb is stamped on the tuning shank . All valves & slides are excellent, tight, work free & easy, excellent compression. This horn is in awesome condition. I love these horns!!!!!!
If you are in to Flugels you probably know the story of the Couesnon factory in Chateau Thierry burning in 1969 and destroying everything including the archives. Dates of manufacturing are unknown but, I know several trumpet players who purchased Couesnons new and have the supporting documentation. This is how we can calculate dating on most Couesnons. New Amado water keys, removed the lyre holder, beautiful engraving and new silver plate. There isn't a Couesnon Flugelhorn out there that looks or plays like this one, no dents, dings or scratches, its a stunning instrument. Typical Couesnon Compact Smokey European JAzz sound and very easy to play.
