This is a Kuhlo Horn (a rotary flugelhorn designed for church performance) made by CLEMENS GLIER, from Markneukirchen, Germany, a center for instrument manufacturing.
I acquired this instrument for research and reference purposes, but as I have no opportunity to use it for performance, I am listing it now as part of decluttering.
As shown in the images, there are numerous small dents and dings throughout due to age, but there are no critical dents or detached solder joints, and all rotary valves and slides are functional.
This is likely an instrument not commonly known in Japan, but it is characterized by a more rustic sound than a standard flugelhorn and a charming appearance.
