Van Laar OIRAM-Ack
Bb small-bore flugelhorn · professional · current
This instrument, with its flexible sound, intonation and projection, was developed in close cooperation with Ack van Rooyen. As was the case with all our OIRAM trumpets and OIRAM flugelhorns, the present instrument was designed by the Belgian architect Mario Garzaniti. The conical taper and the curved slides guarantee a light response. The sound is full and can be augmented to achieve great power in the top register. This flugelhorn was specially developed so that it can be clearly heard without a microphone while never losing its special flugelhorn sound.
