They have a section marked "Custom." Are those NY Trumpets?

Ahh, yes. Felix not only offers horns that are hard to find, if not nearly unknown to the western world, but he can have horns modified by these european makers!
For instance:
Say, you have a Yamaha 7 series, and you want to move up to a Taylor horn. However, you just don't have the money to buy a new Taylor.
BOOM (As John Madden would say)! A Taylor-modified Yamaha (Felix called this one "Zenith," you can just barely see it on the reciever)! Now you've got a horn that plays with both the characteristics of a Taylor and Yamaha, for a *much* more agreeable price.
Felix offers a wide, WIDE array of various horns and styles, and has a lot of farm stock to choose from. Would you want a California bell, a NY heavy-reciever pipe, Posseger swoop-slides (What I affectionately call them), Taylor valve block and finger rings, saturn keys, phaeton bracing? It can be done. And I guarantee it could be put together, gold plated by Eclipse, and sold to you for a price that puts some top-tier makers to shame.
