The Stomvi Master is a true professional’s flugelhorn, offering a warm, vintage French sound that is both rich and nuanced. Its dual-bell design allows players to switch between bright and mellow tones effortlessly, providing incredible versatility in one instrument. Perfect for jazz and chamber music, it excels at delivering emotional depth and tonal complexity.
This instrument responds beautifully to subtle dynamics and articulations, rewarding players with a smooth, controlled feel. Its luxurious finish enhances the instrument’s resonance and presence, making the Master a distinguished choice for advanced musicians seeking refined expressiveness.
* 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.
