Original Kanstul Flugel Mouthpiece Modular Cup W3FLM

Description: Kanstul Musical Instruments was a pioneer in single-point scanning and mouthpiece duplication. Before the factory was shuttered, players from around the world trusted Kanstul for their accuracy in duplicating the most valuable and unique mouthpieces, as well as for extremely consistent production mouthpieces. Among the many modular flugelhorn mouthpiece cups in the Kanstul catalog was the W3FLM. This was a fairly late addition to their catalog - probably in the early 2010's - and so not many are in circulation. It is a copy of the Warburton 3FLM and their website describes it as a "medium funnel" and as having "a lighter sound and is preferred by players who need to play in the upper register". I would agree that the sound is lighter, but I generally frown upon a lot of upper register from a flugelhorn. The funnel shape of the cup is very appropriate for the flugel and will help keep a horn from sounding tubby. Cup diameter is 0.670", which is like a 1 1/2C. Warburton makes theirs with a no. 20 throat, but the Kanstul version is a no. 22. This modular cup is threaded and is compatible with cups produced by Kanstul as well as those made by Warburton, Legends Brass and James R New. Kanstul did all of their plating in-house, using proprietary methods developed by Zig's son Mark Kanstul. This cup received a generous silver plate, and shows almost no wear. Shipped with USPS First Class. International shipping available. Favorite us, and check back as we are listing more interesting and exclusive mouthpieces!
