I'm confused. Are you reviewing a flugel or an Olympus trumpet?

In either case, what were you comparing it to and what were its "very interesting qualities", besides the valve-forward design? Were you using a 1C mpc in a .470" bore horn? If so, I suspect there were interface and endurance problems.

Compare and contrast to your horns, telling us about tone, intonation, responsiveness, valve action, build quality, etc., if you would.
