E-flat flugelhorn edit
Erm ... I don't want to make trouble but is that "E-flat flugelhorn" well-sourced? Nitpickingly (sorry) I feel that if it really was in E-flat (as opposed to the common or garden B-flat flavour) then either it was in high E-flat, which makes it some kind of rather tricky little piccolo instrument that you would not usually give to a 6-year-old; or it was in the low E-flat, in which case we'd not usually call it a flugel any more, but a tenor horn, in BrE at least. Erm. Yes. DBaK (talk) 21:18, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
- I'll double-check my source tomorrow at band rehearsal. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 22:32, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
Nationality edit
Ok, this is confusing. It seems clear from the references that he was born in Sweden, but moved to Denmark very early in his life, and emigrated to the US when he was about 21. The references I've found so far aren't clear on his parents' nationality(ies?). Does anyone have a reliable source for what he considered himself? --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 19:09, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
- https://books.google.com/books?id=D74FAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA346&dq=Leidzen says that he worked with a couple of Swedish musical groups while he was in the US, but I don't know if that's conclusive. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 19:13, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
