Features: Taylor describes it as "not a trumpet, but it's also not a flugel, it's something in between", and its image library files it under "Hybrid". Typed flumpet here because that is the schema's value for a trumpet/flugelhorn hybrid; Taylor does not use Monette's Flumpet trademark. Brushed red bell, bronze flare, custom bracing. Taylor publishes no spec sheets: the range page names the models, the Shopify store lists individual instruments actually in stock, and the download library holds images only. Specs are recorded only where the site states them. Prices are Taylor's GBP in-stock prices for a specific build converted at GBP x 1.27, not a published list price.
