A Soloist's Dream with a Broad Sound
Tailor-made for soloists, the Adams F2 flugelhorn boasts a broad sonic profile with a warm, dark sound that complements every playing style. Yet, the F2 is equally adept as a section horn, thanks to its ample projection and seamless blend, courtesy of its heavier valve block and braces. This exceptional flugelhorn features a one-piece, hand-hammered gold brass bell, delivering warmth and richness with superb tactile feedback. The F2’s medium-large bore strikes the perfect balance between tonality and functionality, while its #2 and #3 leadpipes offer wide-ranging tonal flexibility. Additionally, the horn’s brushed lacquer finish and snakewood finger button inlays give it a spotlight-stealing appearance. Soloists and ensemble players alike will find much to praise about the F2 flugelhorn.
An artful blend of power and elegance
The F2 flugelhorn boasts a medium-large 0.413-inch bore and a 6.69-inch bell diameter, producing a thick, commanding tonality that excels in myriad playing situations. Its most distinctive features are the heavyweight brass valve section and braces, which give the horn exceptional projection and blend. Additionally, the one-piece, hand-hammered gold brass bell delivers a rich sound while providing excellent player feedback. Lastly, the F2 stands out visually with its brushed lacquer finish and designer finger buttons adorned with snakewood inlays.
Adams: generations of impeccable quality
Adams has crafted top-tier brass and percussion instruments since the brand’s inception in 1970. Founder André Adams began manufacturing trumpets and flugelhorns with a single goal in mind: to create the finest musical instruments available in the region. Similar to the story of Sweetwater, Adams quickly found success and extended its reach across the globe. All Adams brasswind instruments are built with pride and a relentless dedication to reliability. These spectacular horns can be seen in the hands of world-class players, such as Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah and Dontae Winslow, and on the marching fields of countless college and high school bands. Today, the company remains a family-run business with three generations of the Adams family pushing the art of instrument manufacturing to greater heights.
