I think they were either manufactured my Couesnon or modeled after them. I played one for a few years on the road, they're nice horns. (Mine needs an overhaul but I'd use it anytime.)
I thint someone's got one in silver plate with a third valve trigger add-on in the marketplace, but I could be wrong about that.
Would be curious about other details about the horn, just out of curiosity. _________________ Jeff Helgesen

Made by Couesnon and identical except for the bell engraving.

Bought a Triebert Flugel ( re-badged by Cousenon) based on some glowing reviews
Including things like 'make your partner cry with the beautiful sound'
etc. Having tested some of the modern cousenon flugels it really is only marginally darker and warmer than these and nowhere near the warmth and tone of the oldies.
I sold a 1922 Cousenon which had the best sound ever and regretted it. That was until I picked up an old Monopole of similar vintage and wow, nothing modern can match it. My main Flugel is an Adams F5, obviously a bit of class but when I want some soft moody ballads you're can't beat it even with the usual intonation issues.
