		The band survived many different incarnations and enjoyed the hit song "Killer Joe." Besides playing the trumpet, Farmer embraced the flugelhorn and was well known for his soft-spoken style when performing evocative ballads.
		The flumpet combines the straightforward distinctively brassy sound of the trumpet with the tender intimate sound of the flugelhorn.
		With the flumpet I can be more interpretive and creative." Farmer was a true elder statesman of jazz and was respected the world over.

	David Monette - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He has designed mouthpieces for Wynton Marsalis and Charles Schlueter, as well as tubist Chester Schmit.
		Monette designed the flumpet, a combination of a trumpet and flugelhorn, for jazz musicians Art Farmer and Mark Isham.
		A perfectionist, he has said that his vision is to create a trumpet with the "perfect sound", which, according to Monette, is a sound that "gets out of the way" of the connection between a musician and an audience.

		Ok i really want to know what a flumpet mouthpiece will sound like in a trumpet i`m probably going to buy a flumpet mouthpiece.
		Flumpet mouthpieces on a standard trumpet have a very unique sound.
		I play trumpet with a monette mouthpiece, B5L (shallow) which works for me and cornet with a B5L FL mouthpiece, which is a VERY deep flumpet cup.

		The first one was a Presentation Flumpet for a wealthy Dr. in Calif. and the other a regular $12,000.00 flumpet in the final stages of work-up that was soon to be tested by the "client" before sending it off for those beautiful mat gold finishes.
		The mouthpiece on the raw brass Flumpet as I remember was waaaaaaaaaay to large in dia.
		When I use the Monette Flumpet mouthpiece it produces a really mellow sound which is appropriate for most of the recording I do.

		Art Farmer, one of the more important second-generation be-bop musicians, an improviser who could say a great deal in a few notes on the trumpet and fluegelhorn and later on his own hybrid instrument, the "flumpet," died on Monday in Manhattan.
		In the early 60's he often used the fluegelhorn, which has a warmer, creamier sound, suiting his lyricism and terseness.
		Then in the early 90's he designed a mixture of the two instruments, the flumpet, which combined projection with warmth.

	Jazz \| All About Jazz
		For years Art Farmer switched from trumpet to flugelhorn, showing equal facility on both in bands led by Jay McShann, Benny Carter, Dexter Gordon and Gerry Mulligan until he discovered the Flumpet.
		To oversimplify somewhat, the trumpet, with its strident, crackling tone, is a hard bop instrument par excellence, while the warmer, mellower flugelhorn is more suited to contemplative lyricism, so for a while Farmer traveled with both horns in his luggage.
		Lately, however, he has taken to playing an instrument capable of showcasing both sides of his talent: the flumpet, a hybrid horn specially designed to combine the powerful clarity of the trumpet with the round, burnished tone of the flugelhorn.

		Art Farmer had switched to the flumpet (a customized hybrid of the fluegelhorn and the trumpet created especially for him) by the time of this 1991 concert, which was recorded at the Blue Note in Fukuoda, Japan.
		Accompanied by Geoff Keezer (a talented pianist heard near the very beginning of his professional career), bassist Kenny Davis, and drummer Lewis Nash, Farmer's playing is at its peak, with thoughtful almost compositional solos, as liner note writer Gene Lees infers.

	Art Farmer \| Live At Stanford Jazz Workshop
		Coming up on the Central Avenue scene in Los Angeles in 1945 and working with the bands of Johnny Otis, Benny Carter, Gerald Wilson, and others, Farmer developed a bop-oriented style that retained the trumpet's lyrical flavor; he eventually settled on the flugelhorn in 1962 with its richer sound.
		Much later, noted trumpet designer David Monette created the flumpet for Farmer; it combines a brassy trumpet sound with the warmer flugelhorn sound.
		Each of these tunes are presented with spirited solos from flumpet, tenor sax, and piano; on “I Mean You” the ensemble takes it one step further by trading fours and by standing back while Rufus Reid turns out an inspired and imaginative bass solo.

	Art Farmer: 1928-1999
		Art Farmer was one of the most respected survivors of the generation of musicians weaned on bebop, and one of its most subtle and distinguished practitioners.
		He developed a very individual stylistic approach to his music, initially on trumpet, later on flugelhorn, and ultimately on a hybrid of both horns which he and its maker, David Monette, christened the "flumpet".
		The instrument shares characteristics of both trumpet and flugelhorn, but has a rich, firmly focused sonority which is very much its own.
