| Re: King Silversonic Cornet Pretty nice Silversonic Gordon. How does it play since the overhaul? I have a soft spot for these cornets. Here's a picture of my 1937 Silvertone. It's easily the best playing instrument I've ever owned. |

| Re: King Silversonic Cornet It has a very compact sound very like a UK brass band sound, moreso than the wedgwood I normally use for that purpose. The cost of buying it and getting it fixed up was still about a third of the price of buying a new corent and this one is much better. |

| Re: King Silversonic Cornet Sounds fine. I will need to do a recording of it. The only problem is the first valve which is a spring related problem and you can't get the springs apparently, although I have heard that the bottom sprung yamaha flugel ones fit. I need to try some springs or just switch the first and third and see if that helps. |

| Re: King Silversonic Cornet Yes, thats the one. I need to get a proper recorder set up. All I have currently is the webcam microphone. I am just leaving the house to go and play Capriccio Italien (doubling first trumpet and first cornet). |
