Description

The Adams F1 flugelhorn offers a refined balance of warmth, projection and control, making it a dependable choice for professional players. Built with Adams’ renowned precision and attention to detail, the F1 produces a full, resonant tone that remains stable and centred across all registers and dynamics.

Equally at home in jazz, orchestral or studio settings, the F1 responds with ease and clarity, allowing players to shape their sound with confidence. Its smooth playing feel and secure intonation make it well suited to both solo and section work, offering the flexibility required for today’s diverse performance settings.

Each F1 is handmade in the Adams brass workshop with exceptional care and consistency. The result is an instrument that feels balanced, performs reliably, and retains its tonal character over time. Expressive, durable and beautifully made, the Adams F1 is designed to meet the demands of professional performance.
