I have recently bought a used flugelhorn. its a yamaha 231S model. The removable mouthpiece receiver however doesn't fit flugelhorn mouthpieces. Does anyone know where i could order one online??

What brand of flugelhorn mouthpiece are you trying to use on the Yamaha flugelhorn?
For example, a Bach flugel mouthpiece will not fit a Yamaha flugel because the mouthpiece shank is the wrong "taper".
But a Yamaha flugel mouthpiece should fit the Yamaha flugel.

The following info is quoted from
Flugelhorn Mouthpieces

Flugelhorn Mouthpiece Taper Information

There are three commonly used flugelhorn tapers:

1. Standard taper: fits Yamaha, Getzen, Callet, Benge/King/Conn, Holton, Weril and older Kanstul 1525 fluglehorns. and other American flugelhorns except Bach.
2. Bach taper: Fits Bach, Courtois, LeBlanc (including Sandoval), some other European brands, and Kanstul models 725, 1025, & 1525.
3. Couesnon Taper: Fits Couesnon, some other European brands, Flip Oakes "Wild Thing," Kanstul CCF 925, and original F. Besson flugelhorns.. Couesnon taper is sometimes referred to as French taper.
