| It depends if it is a Mercedes cornet or a Mercedes trumpet. The trumpets were more or less student level horns, while the cornets by the same name were custom horns built for particular professionals at the time by their request. I have what is probably the last cornet hand built by Bach (a Mercedes) and it is the best horn I have ever played. I wish I could find more situations in which to use it though as a lot of people tend not to like the cornet for whatever reason. |
