Mine is a mod. 155 serial no.25725 bought in 1996/7.

Best flugel sound and most in-tune horn I've played. I play it with a Bach 5CFL mpc.

Thank you this helps immensely. Mine is 29376. I'm guessing according to yours it was made early 2000's. If we get a few more we can establish a pattern.

Thank you. That's a third of an inch. I'm out a little more with my 3cfl. One half inch. Not much of a difference. Why do you play the 5c instead of 3c?

I play the Yamaha 14C4 (heavily modified cup, throat and bore on the trumpet, and sometimes a Bach 5B, so I thought way back that I should keep to the same rim size.
