 Re: for all of you techs.. about flugelhorns

Those old instruments can have funky intonation and/or require some work to get them usable. I'd go for a new modern flugel, something easy to sell/trade if it's not exactly their cup of tea:

Yamaha (wide range of offerings)
Courtois (3 and 4 valve models available)
Kanstul or Kanstul-mfg

As far as mouthpieces go, it's kind of a crap shoot...I play the same diameter mouthpiece for both trumpet and flugel (by Mark Curry, size 5), but not everyone works that way. Also, make sure you check which kind of taper the leadpipe has...there are three different ones (standard, Bach, and French).
