http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=41396&item=3761306492&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW The seller refers to this as the Mendez Cornet...it looks like a Mendez trumpet to me...am I missing something
nah thats a trumpet, people make that mistake on ebay all the time. Some people just dont know what they have and dont bother to find out.
He's correct, both the Mendez trumpet and cornet are long versions vs a stubby cornet. See them here: http://rouses.net/trumpet/olds66/mendeztpt.htm and http://rouses.net/trumpet/olds66/mendzcor.htm In fact, when you read the pictures he's provided of the bell it says Mendez Cornet. They are the only instruments I've ever seen that say what they are (trumpet/cornet) on the bell! p.s. Looks like the engraving has been buffed a little too much
