FLUEGELHORNS

The fluegelhorn has a wide bore,
Just like a cornet plus some more.
It's trumpet-wrapped but not a trumpet, so,
This chubby treble horn , where does it go?
Its no French horn and surely no trombone.
Some say it is a brasswind all alone.
But that old rumor we will now debunk,
The fluegelhorn's a tuba that got shrunk.
