Cornet1

This is identical to the trumpets that I used to teach young beginners the basics during my ten years as an adult instructor with a youth band. Any kids who showed particular promise went straight to cornet,..lesser talents to tenor horn etc.

The later B&S model had the 'Sonora' name engraved on the bell but were essentially identical. They were used by the band because of their very low bulk purchase price, however, I found them to be quite adequate and long suffering under difficult circumstances.

As a life long cornet player I can't see any reasons for spending more to get a supposedly 'better' trumpet (grin)
