{"product_id":"shires-8vp-vintage-paris-flugelhorn","title":"Shires 8VP \"Vintage Paris\" Flugelhorn","description":"\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eThe Vintage Paris flugelhorn is a tribute to the classic European flugelhorn tradition, inspired by the legendary vintage Besson Bravette associated with Doc Severinsen. Its lightweight yellow brass one-piece bell with a yellow seamed bell branch produces a sound that is open, free-blowing, and effortlessly responsive — capturing the ease and singing quality that defined that golden era of flugelhorn playing. All yellow brass slides contribute to a warm, cohesive resonance throughout, with superior intonation and a natural, blooming response that encourages the player to relax and let the music speak. Hand-lapped monel pistons in a three-piston cluster with nickel-silver outer tubes offer smooth, fast action, while the ergonomically designed third-slide trigger provides precise intonation control without interrupting the flow of a phrase. For players drawn to the vintage flugelhorn aesthetic — warm, open, and immediately expressive — the Vintage Paris is an instrument of rare character and historical depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-rte-list=\"default\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKey: B♭\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Clear Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBore: .437” inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBell: 6\" (152 mm), hand-hammered bell in light-weight yellow brass with traditionally brazed seam and soldered bead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeadpipe: Yellow brass leadpipe with yellow brass receiver, large morse taper\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra(s): 3rd valve slide trigger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eS.E.
