| Re: Humor a Newbie One other characteristic of the cornet, as opposed to the flugel and the trumpet is that, along with its darker tone quality it can be a bit 'punchier'. Another thing I've noticed is that when I'm playing totally out, improvised stuff, if I want to play something really weird like an extremely convoluted line that's fast with huge interval jumps, the cornet seems to be a bit more facile than the Bb for this. I just don't have to work as hard to play this sort of thing accurately.
