The OP did mention the Edward Scissorhands soundtrack as having cornet. I've never seen anything confirming or deny that, a[/quote]

could that be (most likely two) cornets in that cue or just usual trumpets?
just wondering because they sound quite soft (they should kick in at 0:13 with ab' and c'', playing background chords) |

| If there is $$ involved in the performance I would say go ahead a write it. The part will definitely get played. Corner and trumpet aren't really much different at all and a good pro will have no problem even if he has to borrow one. |

| The only reason I stipulate $$ is that a lot of professional trumpet players don't own cornets. So getting ahold of one and bringing one more instrument to a free rehearsal could be kind of a drag. |

Thanks for your input Trumpetmannj!
Anyone else could try to help out with my last question? |

Yes! |

Maybe in general this is true. I only know a few of classical players but they all own a cornet. |

I don't play the trumpet by myself but just working on a piece for live orchestra, were I'd like the trumpets switch to cornets....yes, I know this is pretty uncommon for classical symphonic music and bb and C trumpets are way more common here, but I want to have a softer tone and would therefore like the passage to be played by cornets. For example Danny Elfman does this in some scores (like Edward Scissorhands), or Hector Berlioz in his Symphony Fantastique.
Anyway, I was wondering can one expect that every proffesional trumpist should be able to play the cornet as well? For a horn layman (like me) these instruments look pretty much the same. (like the shape, and the valves etc.)
Are there any major differents in playing?
best,

Your proposal seems to go too far because of the cost involved for all those players.
Perhaps have all players use a piece of thin cloth over the bell to soften the tone?
Asking every player to buy a new instrument seems so radical.
