Wikipedia
The flugelhorn (—also spelled fluegelhorn, flugel horn, or Flügelhorn—from German, wing horn, ) is a brass instrument pitched in B, and resembles a trumpet, but has a wider, conical bore. Some sources falsely consider it to be a member of the saxhorn family developed by Adolphe Sax (who also developed the saxophone). Other historians assert that it derives from the valve bugle designed by Michael Saurle (father) in Munich in 1832 (Royal Bavarian patent for a "chromatic Flügelhorn" 1832), which predates Adolphe Sax's work.
