Morris,

I have a Blessing 141 Artist Short cornet, but I believe it is 14" from bell to the middle of the shepherd's crook. I don't win! But, I do like the cornet.

Best wishes,

Lloyd

What is the bore size of your 14-incher?

My 13-1/4-incher has a .485 bore so that it packs a BIG punch in a little package.

7 inches?
I bow to the winner

I just *had* to find a picture of one:

Brass Review.com - Holton C150

Holton C 150 pocket cornet

Holton C150/S. êîðíåò ìàëûé. Êîðíåòû - Äóõîâûå èíñòðóìåíòû - Ìóçûêàëüíûå èíñòðóìåíòû - êàòàëîã Ìóçûêàëüíîãî Àðñåíàëà. Ìóçûêàëüíûé Àðñåíàë - âåäóùèé ïîñòàâùèê ìóçûêàëüíûõ èíñòðóìåíòîâ, çâóêîâîãî è ñâåòîâîãî îáîðóäîâàíèÿ.

By the way, I don't see a shepherd's crook

Mine's 12-3/8" long out-to-out, but any pocket horn will win this contest. If you restrict the contest to non-pocket cornets, I'll bet the Wild Thing short cornet will be in the running for shortest.

Hi, Morris,

My Blessing 141 Artist Short Model Cornet has a .460" bore which is enough for me. I doubt if I'd have enough wind to play a .485" bore.

I doubt if most people who hear (except trumpet and cornet players) know much about bore size as long as the playing isn't boring.

Best wishes,

Lloyd

Re: shortest cornet?

Morris,

How does the large bore sound?

Does it take more air than a ;460?

Best wishes,

Lloyd
