| I'm preparing Carnival of Venice for a recital on my teacher's Edwards short cornet with a british style deep-cup Stork mouthpiece. It's such a dark, chocolatey sound. Everything, right down to the articulation is so different than the trumpet. So much more smooth and connected. The low notes really leap out of the horn! I can kinda see now why some people used to say that the trumpet was "vulgar".
