Nick has a prototype flugel cup that he has been playing on cornet and flugel. As I recall he is playing both on a Warburton cornet backbore. A Back flugel receiver will accept a French taper flugel shank or a cornet backbore. The penetration into the receiver is different in each case, so one has to adjust the tuning slide slightly, but it is usually possible to get the horn in tune. Gap is not an issue as it is in trumpet receivers because most flugel receivers are just a straight tube inside with no step where the receiver joins the leadpipe.

A number of players have also been playing a Wedge A or AC cup with a cornet backbore while waiting for flugel pieces to come out.

The actual Wedge flugel top will have an interchangeable backbore that cane be switched between Bach, standard, or French tapers. There will also be a dedicated short trumpet backbore to allow the flugel top to be used on a trumpet.

Cheers.
