Who the EFG512G Flugelhorn Is For

The Eastman EFG512G flugelhorn is an intermediate Bb flugelhorn for advancing musicians who need a warm, broad secondary brass voice for jazz, commercial, solo, and ensemble playing. It is especially well suited to trumpet players adding flugelhorn to their setup, committed students moving into more serious repertoire, and adult players who want a dependable instrument with the core design features associated with traditional flugelhorn response.

Its .413” bore supports a centered feel that many players will find familiar, while the gold brass bell contributes a mellow tonal profile with depth and color. The vertical 3rd valve tuning slide trigger helps with practical intonation adjustment in performance, which distinguishes this model from more basic entry-level flugelhorns. In Eastman’s lineup, the EFG512G is designed for players who want a true flugelhorn sound and more refined control without stepping immediately into a fully professional-priced model.
