The mouthpiece does make a big difference. I use a comprimise mouthpiece (Laskey 75 DB is a bit of a funnel but with a little bowel at the bottom to keep from compleatly having to blow ones brains out) partly because I can't stand the rim on the Dennis Wicks ( have a2 and 2b) Have thought about having Scott put a 75 rim on the wick 2 cup just to try it out.

The cornet also has a different approach mentally, the concept of sound is different. Also the articulation is different.

I do really like the sound of cornets and trumpets in bands, too bad band directors (guilty not sure I could get away) don't insist on this like they used to.
