Correction ... Tony Scodwell's flugelhorn is not a modified Kanstul. It is a unique design. However, Kanstul does manufacture Tony's design for him. He did pick one of Kanstuls existing valve blocks to work with. All the bracing, main tuning slide crook, bell taper, and bell bend radious are all unique, and to Tony's specifications. Once made they go to Tony for play testing, and any tweeking that might need to be done before being sent to Chuck Levin's : Everything in Music : 301-946-8808 for sale.

All the best.
