I just received what is alleged to be a CarolBrass "Legend" Flugelhorn. However, it looks a little "off" to me. Other than a serial number on the middle valve casing ("126191-H.G."), it has no engraving on it anywhere. Not the bell, not the leadpipe, nowhere. It has the right sized bell (a pinch under 6 inches), but otherwise it looks a little smaller than I expected (I've never had one in my hands before). It does have the same Saturn-style water keys as my other two CarolBrass horns. I would not think a knock-off would have those, but what do I know?

Short of writing to the manufacturer, how can I look up this serial number??

Thanks for the referral.

What I have is, in fact, a Custom Doug Teeter Model Legend Flugelhorn from Hoxon Gaaki (CarolBrass). Doug identified every last detail of the horn, down to the thickness of the pinky ring and the scroll pattern on the valve caps.

Doug was a very personable individual to talk with.

Thanks again.

This is an older post but hopefully someone will read it. I just bought a beautifully plating Flugelhorn called a George Rawlins Solista. It's quite a lovely playing horn with beautiful rose brass bell. The guy I got it from said it was a Carol Brass horn tweaked by Mr Rawlins. For the price of $700 I am extremely satisfied. But, does anyone know anything about George Rawlins?

I just did a search for him in the TH registry...

https://www.trumpetherald.com/registry.php?task=detail&mid=2134

His phone number is listed, and of course, you could PM him.

What are you looking for?

If you can call him or send him a PM via TrumpetHerald, you can (obviously) ask him anything you want.
