I play cornet 90 % of the time. Mostly solo and British Brass Band stuff. If you are playing in a concert or community type band and there are cornet parts - the cornet parts are ALWAYS the best parts. Take your cornet - then demand that you be given the 1st cornet parts if there are any seeing as you will probably be the only one with a cornet. I sometimes sub in a few local community bands and I always bring my cornet instead of my trumpet. People look at me as if I was playin a bassoon in the trumpet section. I usually rip their lips off in the first 5 minutes and by the end of rehearsel they are asking me where they can buy one and how much they cost

Apparently some players could produce a "Flattergrub" and nothing more. Richard I. Schwartz "The Cornet Compendium"
