Tailor-made for dedicated students





One of the primary reasons why budding musicians and their instructors appreciate the EFG412S is that it will last well past the time when a student is ready for a step-up instrument. This flugelhorn provides a comfortable level of breath resistance for newer players, and its 0.413-inch bore offers the perfect balance between tonality and functionality. You also get a vertical third-valve tuning slide with a trigger for easy adjustability.





High-quality hand-spun bell





The Eastman EFG412S includes a hand-spun, wire-reinforced yellow brass bell. This bell is extremely lightweight, giving this flugelhorn a balanced feel ? a must for beginning players who aren't used to holding a horn in the correct position for a long time. Bad posture leads to improper breathing, off-kilter intonation, and can become an ingrained habit that impedes a student's progress. The EFG412S features a silver-plated finish that not only looks great, but it also lends a brilliant sheen to the flugelhorn's tonality.





Eastman: crafting fine instruments since 1992





Accomplished flutist Qian Ni founded Eastman in 1992 after graduating from the Boston University School of Music. Similar to Sweetwater, Eastman started as a one-man operation, with Ni selling instruments out of the back of his car. Today, Eastman is a global maker of musical instruments, but they've never lost sight of their humble beginnings. Players ? both students and professionals alike ? searching for an instrument with outstanding sound, comfortable playability, and traditional craftsmanship will find exactly what they're looking for from Eastman.
