I would agree with A.N.A on the Reynolds. I have a 61 Roth cornet in excellent condition and love the way it plays. Also my 53 Holton Collegiate is a good horn, and there are many out there. I didn't pay more than $50 for each of them. I used to have a Reynolds Emporer cornet that was a good player, also, now being used in one of our elementary schools.
