‘Brand New’ Adams F2-LT Custom flugelhorn Lacquer Finish

Adams is a Netherlands-based instrument manufacturer of brass and percussion instruments. They are at the forefront of instrument development and offer several models of flugelhorn including the F1, F2, F2-LT and F3.

New for 2024, the F2-LT is a collaboration between the manufacturer and Adams flugelhorn artist Helen Williams, introducing innovative features that facilitate performance at the very highest level.

Its design integrates the lightweight bottom caps and branch of the Adams F1 model and the resonant F3 bell with the heavy F2 valve block, resulting in enhanced lyrical qualities and a tonal spectrum that shifts effortlessly from dark and round to clear and open.

New features include a trigger innovatively placed on the branch (connecting the bell to the valve-block) allowing a more compact and comfortable grip, an extra water key on the first valve, and brace positioning to optimize resonance and response.
