Arturo Sandoval Model!
The Leblanc F357 was designed for jazz great Arturo Sandoval. It is especially noted for flexibility,
note-bending, and handling extreme dynamics without breaking up. Unlike other flugelhorns sporting a gold brass or red brass
bell, the Sandoval model features a solid copper branch and bell. The result is a rich, velvety, and dark sound characteristic
of vintage horns.
