I have an old Couesnon that I bought that is missing the receiver and pipe. Does anyone know where I could get a replacement?

I have a Van Laar flugelhorn and your small morse tapered X7 fits like how your large morse example does in the video (a little deeper actually - it stops where the ring on the neck of the mouthpiece lines up with receiver entrance, but doesn't rock). Is this Okay? Van Laar flugels are known as small morse but I think they actually make it somewhere between small and large. Curry's small morse piece actually fails to fit in... its cup blank hits the receiver before locking in.

Which taper fit for flugelhorn B&H Sovereign? My one has nr 647165, probably form 1979 or 1980.

Every time I forget which taper is on my flugelhorn I come here. This will not be the last time.
