A warm, cloudy sound is characteristic for the B3 flugelhorn. Because of its large bell (160 mm), the tone is full, round and expansive. In the low and middle register (the latter is particularly important for a flugelhorn) it is distinguished by a wealth of overtones and colourful sound spectrum. The notes engage well, and are quick and easy to find.
The B3 is available in following finishes:
| Raw Brass | |
| Silver-plated | |
| Yellow Gold-plated | |
| Red Gold-plated | |
| Palladium-plated |
