Need help to find particular vst brass soundbanks

Hi All,

Where can I find sound libraries with:

  • German rotary flugelhorn (no bugel/flugelhorn).
  • German rotary tenorhorn (no tuba/bariton/euphonium)

Thanks in advance,
Twan

I don’t know, but I asked CoPilot and it had a suggestion. Interestingly it also knew about this thread.

You’re chasing a very specific brass sound—German rotary flugelhorn and tenorhorn, without the usual bugle or euphonium substitutes. That’s a rare niche, but here’s what I found:

:trumpet: VST Libraries & Leads

1. VG Flugelhorn PLUS by VGTrumpet

  • A Kontakt-based library with over 1,050 samples.

  • Designed for wind controllers and MIDI keyboards.

  • Includes expressive articulations like flutter tongue, wah-wah, rips, and shakes.

  • While it’s labeled “flugelhorn,” it may be worth checking if it uses rotary valve samples or offers customization for that timbre.

  • Explore the VG Flugelhorn PLUS library

2. Forum Thread on Steinberg

  • A user posted the exact same request—German rotary flugelhorn and tenorhorn, excluding bugel and euphonium.

  • No confirmed solution yet, but it’s a good place to monitor or join the discussion.

  • See the Steinberg forum post

3. General Flugelhorn VST Roundups

  • Some collections like VHorns Brass Section or VSL Flügelhorn might offer high-quality flugelhorn samples, but they often use piston valve instruments or generic brass voicings.

Hi Raino,
Thanks for your info, but they are all bugel/flugelhorn.
I live in the Netherlands and what we call a bugel is international named flugelhorn.
A german rotary valved flugelhorn is in terms of sound between the trumpet and bugel,
used in what we call Blaskapelle. These specialized bands you find in Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Slovakia and meanwhile in the Netherlands and have there own typical sound.

Thanks again for your help.
