| Cup | Description |
| F | Our shallowest flugelhorn cup. The F cup is an all around, easy to play flugelhorn cup that gets a good, rich flugelhorn sound combined with ease of playing. |
| FE | The FE cup is a good option for jazz and big band players that want a darker sound than the F. It has a solid core but provides more breadth in the sound for solo playing. |
| DF | The DF cup is designed for European-style brass band playing and for classical settings such as brass quintet, solo literature, and off-stage orchestral parts. |
| HF | Our warmest, darkest sounding cup available. Great for playing in the staff on ballads and smooth jazz, it is not recommended for extended upper register work. |
Shank Style
Flugelhorns generally come with three different shank syles:
- Standard - a large diameter Morse taper
- Bach - a small diameter Morse taper
- French - a cylindrical shank used by Couesnon and some other manufactures
