@BigDub Do you market your art? Do you exhibit?

Welcome! Glad to know you're getting back into playing again.

Dimensions and sound appear quite similar to a flugelhorn, but with a more rounded rounded wrap.

Evil spirits beware! This guy is not kidding around!

I'm surprised that the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix, AZ https://mim.org/ has neither of these. You have quite a rare artifact.

What a great documentary! Thanks for posting!

Could this be related to bottom-sprung valves?

Links to parts 1 and 2 of the project are included in the description.

I oil the valves on my instruments liberally, and no oil saturates the felts nor even accumulates in the bottom caps.

Is this the way you tend to play?

@robertwerntz Thanks for the link. I filed a report as well and included https://duckduckgo.com/?q=matt+brockman+trumpet+scam&t=newext&atb=v415-1&ia=web in the info. He should get an appropriate reward for his earned notoriety.

Do you know an attorney or someone in law enforcement who could advise you? Or perhaps you could do an internet search for consumer fraud help.
