| Silvetta cornet
Hello Capo. Hope you find out the info. on your cornet. It is a new make to me also. You may have a top of the line cornet and not know it yet. I waited to long to post for info. on a King Golden Flair and 22B Conn New York Symphony trumpets. And two very nice and top of the line vintage pro- horns got past me on e-bay. In fact if I had posted sooner. If I had not won the Golden Flair myself. There were some of the fellows on this site and the Trumpet Herald that were interested also. Of course if all of us had got in on the bidding. Who knows were the bidding would have stopped.HaHa I lucked up on a 1948 King Master cornet in very good conditon advertised as a king 600 trumpet. Won it for $145.00 plus shipping. They are well designed cornets and fit in the hand like a custom fitted glove. Will keep a eye on your post and see what sort of horn you have there. If it plays and sounds good. At that price. You have lost nothing. I may have bought the last new stock 4X1 Al Cass cornet mouthpiece from Steve Cass. That alone was $100.00. If Cornet1 is still following this topic. I hope he continues to post his thoughts on playing the cornet. It was very informative to me. As I am a older come-back player. I have had to go to small bore horns. Due to not having as strong a lungs as when I was younger. Also for help in embrochure set up. You may want to do the first two or three exercises listed in the Carmine Caruso muscial tech. book for brass players. Now I am just a rookie. Cornet1 seems to know his stuff. I would seek his advice first. I now have a great and easy tongue exercises I can do riding down the road and back. Later |
