small-bore cornet?

screamingmorris · 05-12-2008, 07:39 PM

I already have a huge-bore cornet for low ballads.

I would like to try (not buy) a vintage small-bore silver-plated professional-level cornet, much smaller than a .460 bore, just to see how it sounds and feels with my Weril W46 mouthpiece, to try a *real* "scream cornet".

Any suggestions of brand name and model name and bore size I could look for?

Yes, any Buescher, serial number lower than 300,000.

Should I look for a model name?
What would the bore size be?

Most of them will be fine. The exact bore size will vary by model, but you can go nuts trying to measure anything. I play a "The 400" model, and its bore size is exactly the same as my trumpet, also "The 400", at 0.455. However, the earlier horns are smaller.
