In a posting linked to below here I quote the present Hirsbrunner owner's views on this.

A flugelhorn band fellow of mine maintains that the greatest benefit of his 4 valve Getzen over the 3 valve version is, that the 3 first valves are tuned better. Especially the 3rd one.

Since the introduction of the 4 valve Getzen flugelhorn some 35 years ago, other makers have been more active in offering the 3 valve flugels with a 3rd valve trigger.
