You can always tell the difference between a large bore and small bore flugel in how bright the sound is.

Sales 101: 1. Identify the feature by what it's called, then 2, describe what it is, then 3, explain the benefit that that feature delivers in other words, why the customer needs it, has to have it, can't do without it.
First Example: 1. Identification: This horn has the "Euro Bell."
2. Description: ....which is this bent/curved bell that makes it look like baby Shamu, or look as if it was run over by the band bus.
3. Benefit: ....and what the Euro bell does for you Mr. Customer is that it Does it affect the blow/resistance? Does it change the sound? Why do I want the "Euro Bell?" Why must I have it? I'm not getting that. Because frankly, the Euro bell is kinda funny-looking and if I'm going to go up on stage with a funny looking horn like that, I want there to be a pretty good benefit to offset the funny look.
Second example: 1. Identification: This horn has the "Saturn" water keys.
2. Description: ...which are these water keys here that look like the planet Saturn. (OK so far, so good)
3. And what the Saturn water key gives you is the ability to hit it from anywhere (OK, good) and it allows you to do a double dump. Well, a double dump can be accomplished with Amado water keys, too so why did this manufacturer choose to use Saturn water keys on this horn over the Amado keys? Potential objection to the Saturn water keys on the part of any potential customer might be, "I don't like trying out newfangled things, you never know what the weaknesses of newfangled things until they've been out there for a while to stand the test of time and you get to hear the problems associated with them from actual customers. So what can be said to overcome that objection? Can any other benefits be cited, such as, "these Saturn keys don't clog" or "they create a better seal, " or "they are lower maintenance, don't need to be taken apart and cleaned or lubricated, etc." In, fact a drawing or schematic diagram that shows the internal workings of the Saturn water key and why it's better (if it is better) would be great. I don't want to buy something and then have to spend money retrofitting it with different water keys in the near future because these water keys are a pain in the butt or have some kind of inherent problem. Gotta address those potential objections. The way I see it, if a manufacturer is going to come out with something new and different, it should be for the sake of improvement, not just for the sake of being different. If it doesn't offer improvement, why take the risk of it having weaknesses that the traditional item didn't have? By the way, I did double-dump this morning and I wasn't anywhere near a trumpet!
