Re: Germain York Cornet - Reputation?

If you get to test the real deal from York Brass in Germany...but they all have a sheperd's crook. Rather expensive, but very well built and quite nice, a bit dark sound. Really nice. I got to try couple of them at the recent Schagerl Brass Festival in Mank. The valves are excellent, the sound is really what a cornet should sound like, intonation is excellent as well, easy and fun to play. It is less fun to pay though
