I am trying out a Besson Eb Cornet made in 1899. It is in incredible shape. The mp is the original with the flat rim and a very sharp bit. Very uncomfortable for me. I obtained a besson shanked Denis Wick and the feel is quite a bit better. It has a deep funnel bowl.

Question. Is the typical Eb cornet sound deep and full (like with the Wick mp) or should it be more resonant and lively as with a more "C" shaped cup?

Thanks...
