Who the 25A Flugelhorn Is For
The 25A will suit experienced trumpet and flugelhorn players, jazz and commercial musicians, brass ensemble performers, and doublers who prefer a compact three-piston instrument with a small-shank mouthpiece receiver. Its traditional flugelhorn format favors a broader, warmer tonal concept than the brighter and more direct profile associated with a trumpet.
Common Questions About the Conn 25A
What mouthpiece does the Conn 25A use?
This instrument is set up for a small-shank flugelhorn mouthpiece. A mouthpiece is not included.
How does a flugelhorn differ from a trumpet?
A flugelhorn uses a more conical design and broader bell profile, producing a rounder tonal color commonly used in jazz, brass ensemble, concert band, and lyrical solo playing.
When was the Conn 25A produced?
The Conn 25A flugelhorn was produced during the early 1970s (roughly 1972 to 1974). In the late vintage era, C.G. Conn utilized single-letter prefixes to indicate specific manufacturing years right before transitioning to their multi-letter alpha-numeric systems. The "R" prefix was strictly designated for the 1972 production run. .Because production of the 25A model only lasted for a brief window in the early 1970s, an "R" prefix sequence marks it as a very early example from that specific design run.
