Surrey Brass (the symphonic brass ensemble I play with) are using cornets in a couple of pieces in their upcoming concert - we prefer the sound for certain pieces. Instead of five trumpets (in various configurations) we are moving to 3 cornets, soprano cornet and flugel (brass band style). If nothing else, it will add to the pile of instruments that we will have on the stand (we will all be using Bb trumpets, probably all using C as well, 5 flugels, 3 piccolos, soprano cornet, Eb trumpets - a veritable sea of instruments
)
