John Packer JP175 flugel
 

We have a great JP175 flugel horn worth over £400 to be won for Christmas thanks to our friends at John Packer Musical Instruments — as long as you can answer one little question…

Cracking instrument

The JP175 flugel is a cracking student level instrument that comes in yellow lacquer finish and features a rose brass leadpipe, third valve trigger and a JP604 mouthpiece.

It’s also the ideal complimentary instrument for the experienced cornet player who wishes to delve into the sweet sounding lyrical tones of the flugel horn every now and again.

It’s well built, has great tuning and intonation, smooth action, bottom sprung monel valves and comes in a high quality lightweight case with backpack and shoulder straps.

How’s that for a nice surprise Christmas present?
