I believe Maynard played on a flugel horn manufactured in France called a Courtois.
He played a Courtois for at least the final 15 or 20 years. But in the 70's there was a MF Holton flugel complete with a brace and medallion. So I'm thinking in 72 he might have still been on a Conn or maybe a Couesnon . Kind of hard to say in this era because it was only a few years removed from him playing everything Conn including an 8D French Horn on occaision. Then there was the Liberator when he lived in England . And in this video it looks like he is still on the FBL mouthpiece from that time period. He sounded terrific on everything he touched though.
