Yes you are correct,

Kevin did build one from a Willson euph and used a trombone bell for the small bell. There used to be a link to the project on the custom music web site and Kevin used to have a Michigan music instrument service web site from his shop that had the info about it on there as well. I am not sure if he still has the web site.

I could be wrong on this but I had heard that the original double bell euph was built for a player named Noble Howard who was one of the greats of his time. I used to live in Indianapolis and one of the community bands I was with had one of his original double bell euphs. The whole horn was gold plated.
