| In all due respect, a Cornet is different; however, don't get too "Jacked-up" about it. It is another "slant" on the capabilities of the Bb - C pitched horns ... "Variations on a Theme", so to speak.
It's nice to have the miscellaneous versions (Trumpet, Cornet, Fluegelhorn) of the instruments in your "quiver" (or "arsenal"), for whatever application your little heart may desire.
Think of the instrument as a "tool". Granted, there is a certain "romance" in vintage (and, to some extent, modern-era) horns that have distinctive designs and tonal-characteristics.
(*** note to self -- acquire ample quantities of each, for fun and games)
