working-kirk is an unknown quantity at this point
First, I've got to say Hello Jack This is Kirk one of your former students. I have been doing well This is the first year when I decided to make a go making a living with my horn. I didn't do well the first few months but starting last December I actually was able to pay my rent, food and all my bills. You probably got an idea what I been doing with my I need a gig auction. I will get back to cornet but Jack you must promise you won't faint.

Is a cornet better than a trumpet? Yes,... for Juggling! I have one of Jack's top of the line cornet a gold-plated 1531 and while it has a great sound it is the best horn I have for juggling. I remember showing you the horn and you tried it and said It a great horn but that's the way my dad builds them. Well you may not realized but it is perfectly balanced like a juggling club. Not only is a cornet better balanced for juggling but it is more veratile. With a trumpet I can either be jazzy or classical. With a cornet I can be jazzy or classical or voice of doom or sound more like a flute in the upper ranges and a trombone in the petal tone but most of all I can be CORNY!

Jack I know you like testimonials about your horns but you might have never expected "A Kanstal makes the perfert horn for juggling like in the old vaudeville days.

Well until I get a Monette to juggle with (What? That fool is juggling with a Monette!") your horn will have to do.
