Also, do you know if these 'plates' can be added on horns later on in the life of the horn or does it require thicker tubbing for the solder to take effect?
Do you think that Kanstul would/could do this on the Kanstul 1510 C trumpet?

I call that a weighted brace. If you are interested in adding it to an existing instrument I suggest you contact Jason Harrelson at Harrelson trumpets.

Jason is a master craftsman and can add anything you want to your trumpet. He also has the ability to talk to you about what you want to achieve and will tell you if adding these braces will result in the desired change.
feel free to e-mail or even call him. He is a wonderful person who is more than willing to help any fellow musician.
