Hi TM,
I'm no expert but love Callet's horns. Here is what I found out from Callet's web site.
The first Callet horn came out in 1983. "The New York" I think used a Getzen valve cluster. After undergoing a name change,The New York became the "Soloist" and later in 1988 became know by the name it currently has, "The Jazz". I could be mistaken but I believe the New York was a large bore horn, as I understand it,the expanda-bore concept came later when the name changed to the Soloist. Jerry also produced a C trumpet ,which is the brother of the Bb Jazz, two styles of Flugel horn, and a trombone. When Jerry retired recently and the production of Callet horns ground to a halt, Lee Adams stepped in a revived this line of fine custom horns. In addition to the Jazz, a new horn has appeared off the assembly line. The Stratosphere is discussed in another thread on this forum. Hope this information is helpful.
