Please help. Anyone knows what the taper for Kanstul Chicago flugel is? Bach or Couesnon?

Bach...should have a "B" somewhere on the receiver...at least they used to!

From Mouthpiece Express website:
Flugelhorn Mouthpiece Taper Information:
There are three commonly used flugelhorn tapers:
Standard taper: fits Yamaha and other "American" flugelhorns except Bach.
Bach taper: Fits Bach, Courtois, LeBlanc (including Sandoval), some other European brands, and Kanstul models 725, 1025, & 1525.
Couesnon Taper: Fits Couesnon, some other European brands and Kanstul model 925. Couesnon taper is sometimes referred to as "French" taper. |

That's correct. The Kanstul Chicago Flugel receiver takes the Bach shank mpce, the same as the Signature 1525.
Interesting note. the receivers for the Custom and Chicago are technically interchangable, as they are the same bore size. Only the Custom takes the French taper.
I once ordered a couple of Bach flugel mouthpieces from wwbw. I never figured out the problem, but they weren't all the same taper even though the boxes said they were. So I think Bach does make mpces with other than the Bach taper. ( just to confuse us)
I should have mentioned that the Kanstul 2 piece set up is worth checking into.
The 119 (short style) & the 112 are the 2 backbores that fit the Chicago.

I concur with the statement regarding Bach mouthpiece tapers. I have identical model Olds flugelhorns. One will only accept my Bach 3C, and the other will only accept my Bach 1 1/4C.
