Documented Design Lineage (Primary Source)

Direct comments from Tony Scodwell (TrumpetHerald, 2018):

“The horns I designed were called “Signature 2000” and two models of trumpets called the “New York” and the “LA” along with the flugelhorn which introduced the tuning lower branch design and the three and four valve piccolos which no less than William Vacchiano asked to endorse. “ –https://www.trumpetherald.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1534269

“Trumpets and cornets used the Allied valves but piccolos and flugelhorns used Bauerfeind valves…” – https://www.trumpetherald.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1531237

The “Signature 2000” instruments were all made in the Allied factory which was owned by Don’s brother Bob.…” https://www.trumpetherald.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1534269

 

These align directly with this instrument’s features and place it within Scodwell’s early professional design work during the DEG Signature era.

This discusses Scodwell’s later flugelhorns; the DEG Signature 2000 represents an earlier stage of that design lineage.
