I use a set of stereo headphones from Radio Shack that work just great. I turn the volume up until I am forced to play very softly and have found that my tone and range have vastly improved.

Hey!!! Old LOU!
Shultzie here exiled in Gig Harbor...
DO YOU REALIZE THAT U HAVE WAAAAAAAAAAY TOO MANY CORNETS!!!!!
Many of you on TM know that my beat up old "road-rage piece of Besson Sov' cornet was stolen out of my old pickup waaaaaaaaay back in 2003.
Can you believe that I still haven't found a worthy replacement. Before it was ripped off...I remember how ugly that old horn looked and how the intonation was suspect...along with the finnnnnikeee' valves.....but I TRULY MISS THAT BEAUTIFUL VELVETEEE' DENSE WARM SOUND and FRIENDLY OLD SHOE FEEL.
I am playing on an old student model Besson cornet that is equally as ugly...but just doesn't come even close to that same comfortable feeling and worst of all....
i miss that sound????
ANY CHANCE OF PARTING WITH ONE OF THOSE OLD CORNETS OF YOURS???
MAKE ME N' OFFA I CAN'T REFUSE, or just keep n' eye out for a somethin that you think might be a good value for n' old 69 year old retired toot on a rather fixed and fractured income?
Even worse....I haven't been able to convince our friend TOM TURNER to turn loose of one of his beautiful old cornets that I have be ENVUS for so many years...n'allthat jazz.
