I do remember those trumpets. The heavy copper plating was offered on both the Bb's and C's, as I recall. I remember the Callet website mentioning how long the bells had to spend in the plating tank to get the specified thickness of copper. It always sounded like the Conn Coprion concept, except with a brass bell instead of the removable mandrel, to me.
