This Flügelhorn (valve bugle) in B-flat was crafted by Johann David Christian Loeschhorn between 1849 and 1855. The instrument, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a beautiful example of 19th-century craftsmanship. The brass instrument, with its gleaming finish and intricate valve system, reflects the precision and artistry of the period. Its compact size, with a bell diameter of 4 inches, suggests its use in chamber music or smaller ensembles.
