Couesnon (1902)

This is a Bb Flugelhorn, made by Couesnon in 1902. Though it is not a Monopole, which would be the Holy Grail of Flugelhorns, this is a very good instrument. When I first played it, all notes were spot on, I could not miss a note if I tried. And that was before I discovered a crack at the bottom of the first bend. The valves are a bit rough though, but otherwise it is in excellent playing condition.
