The Stomvi Elite is a versatile flugelhorn that shines with a warm, rich tone perfect for both jazz and classical settings. Its lightweight design makes it comfortable for long playing sessions, while its expressive voice adapts easily to various musical styles. Whether you’re leading a solo or blending in an ensemble, the Elite offers a balanced and clear sound that responds well to your musical nuances.
Built for musicians seeking flexibility, the Elite’s smooth action and reliable intonation let you focus on your performance without distraction. Its elegant finish complements its professional sound, making it a dependable choice for advancing players who want an instrument that’s ready for any stage.
* The Amado water key was patented in the US by its inventor Raymond Amado at the beginning of the 1970s. A small transverse-mounted cylinder encloses a spring-loaded push-button piston which when depressed lets moisture drain from the instrument. Its design causes less distortion to the air column than the drain port of a traditional water key.
