Kuhlohorn

This is a specially designed brass wind-instrument played using a deep bowled mouth piece.

Kuhlohorns commonly are featuring a conical tuning slide, at the second curved pipe section after the rotary valves.

Johannes Kuhlo found the unique sound ideal for a cappella brass choir (Posaunenchor).

He wrote about the Flugelhorn: "They come closest to the human voice after the trombone, because of their soft, full, melodic tone.

Since they present fewer difficulties (in playing) than the trombones, these Flugelhorns are the most indispensable for us ... and the more similar an instrument sounds to the human voice, the more perfect it is and to be rated even higher.
