Good deal on a cornet?

Blazing Asian · 12-06-2006, 09:04 PM

I recently was reading the classifieds of the paper and say listed a cornet for 50 dollars and it read nice. I checked it out and eventually purchased it. It is a King 602 with a Blessing 7c mouthpiece. I have to say that it is very nice and plays excellent, it has scratches and lacquer coming off but still 50 dollars...what can you expect? Your thoughts?

All that really matters is how you feel about it. I'd say you did just fine; maybe even better then fine.

I believe that was part of their student line. You can check it out at

Great website do the serial number lookup and you'll know how old it is.

I'd say you paid $50 for a good $50 horn.
