I just bought myself my first cornet! A B&S model 2141. Have no idea how old it is or any information on it (emailed Bill Gisbson from JA Musik with the serial number to help me out).

Seems everyone is just talking about B&S. I now have a B&S trumpet and cornet. Both are screaming out for the tech to doctor them a bit, but all in good time.

I am however having a bit of difficulty with the cornet. I know it will take time to get used to the horn and so on, but I keep wanting to make it sound like a trumpet and get frustrated with myself when the sound isn't as bright as when I play the trumpet.

Are there any wise words to help me on my journey to playing the cornet? I find that it's not as open as my trumpet, a bit more resistancein the upper register. This normal?
