I use an Eclipse, red brass bell, scratched and lacquered.

This is MY flugelhorn.



..and yes, I have the first valve slide in backwards in the picture.

That's funny Chuck. I intentionally play my vintage YFL731 with the first slide "backwards" because I find it easier to reach and drain without getting dribble all over my hand.
