7string Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 This is probably the best musical instrument bargain I've ever had. Hence this thread This is something that I really wanted to try and get hold of by they're just way too expensive to buy. I've never actually played one or seen someone playing one live, so shelling out a load of cash would just be plain silly. So here's the case with said instrument inside. It's 90cm x 33cm x 14cm and weighs 19kg (42lbs) ([b]Merello[/b] you know what it is already so don't jump in). Any guesses. I'll reveal more pics as we go...

BottomEndian Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 [quote name='7string' post='837723' date='May 14 2010, 11:04 PM']It's 90cm x 33cm x 14cm and weighs 19kg (42lbs)[/quote] [quote name='alanbass1' post='838220' date='May 15 2010, 04:11 PM']Flugelhorn[/quote] That has to be the biggest and heaviest flügelhorn ever. My guess: ondes martenot. Or maybe a Fender Rhodes or similar, although I'm pretty sure the last Rhodes I played was a bit bigger than that.
