FLUGELHORNS

Dynamic and RevolutionaryPHAETON Flugelhorns have quickly evolved into an “in-demand” Jazz instrument with Phaeton’s popular trade mark short piston stroke design. This perfectly balanced horn is fabricated from select Yellow Brass and with its matched brilliant Rose Brass bell, this horn projects a solid/focused mellow sound for any venue.

By utilizing our newly re-designed ‘direct air’ column, every player is able to more easily control volume, projection and focus in all ranges. Pistons are interchangeable for quick cleaning/lubrication. No more worries about where each piston fits.

Solid brass machined finger buttons coupled with heavy weight top/bottom caps make this horn most desirable for any demanding player. Phaeton continues to provide the highest quality and best value compared to all others in the marketplace.

Phaeton Flugelhorn finishes are virtually the same as those offered in our trumpet line-up. Black Onyx and Matte Silver plate, in addition to the rich Gold lacquer finish, are striking and elegant.

Projection

Bb POCKET TRUMPETS PHT-2070 Bb CUSTOM CLASSIC TRUMPET

Smaller Can Be Better Dark, Full-bodied & Elegant

Phaeton Pocket Trumpets are virtual clones of our great full size trumpets. Same short stroke pistons; same bell construction; same bore size; same trim components and same case.

These great trumpets have the best “tight wrap” design available in the market. This perfectly balanced instrument is designed for players who are looking for that special/unique brilliant sound produced only by Pocket Trumpets.

These horns are ideal for small Jazz and Dixie combos when that unique “Pocket” sound is most desirable. Phaeton Pocket Trumpets are ranked as the finest horn of its type produced.

All technical specifications are the same as the Bb/C full size trumpets.

Before we started to design a CLASSIC Phaeton Trumpet model, we asked top artists playing in Symphony, Opera & Studio orchestras what their primary re-quirements were for most demanding performances. Their answers were simple, honest and revealing. Our job, now, was to meet these expectations.

We agreed that a Heavy Weight solid brass mouth-piece receiver coupled with a virgin Sterling Silver fast taper lead pipe was #1 on our list of criteria. Then we had to solve the critical issue of timbre and focus. The answer was a one piece Rose Brass bell with a full radius bend plus a solid bead wrap Bell Rim was the optimum choice for ideal sound projection with crisp focus.

Our ‘short stroke’ piston design answered any concerns about speed and response time with

any difficult passage. Reverse tuning slides crafted from solid nickel silver provide any player with

confidence that air flow would be unimpeded and without excessive turbulence.

Heavy weight machined brass finger buttons, top/bottom caps offer perfect balance to a Trumpet that has everything needed to guarantee excellence in every possible situation.

If you’re looking for a new innovative Classic Design Trumpet to excel beyond the perfor-mance of your current instrument, the Phaeton PHT-2070 should be your first choice.

Technical specifications for the PHT-2070 are the same as our other Bb/C trumpets.
