Features: The Standard. Bore .460" with an optional .464". 23-gauge bell with a special annealing process; yellow brass leadpipe with a special venturi fitted to a 1/8-inch gap; square tuning slide for an optimum point of resistance; selective brace placement. Lacquer, brush lacquer, silver or gold plating optional at extra cost. Stored as Bb-Standard because "Standard" alone is a generic qualifier the tokeniser drops. Scodwell USA is Tony Scodwell's shop - a Las Vegas session and show trumpeter of nearly four decades who builds the instruments himself; the site states "Custom built trumpets and flugelhorns. Built in the USA." No prices are published; the instruments are sold exclusively through four named retailers (Chuck Levin's in the USA, Musik Bertram in Germany, Kinkal Brass in Prague and Sax & Woodwind in Australia).
