Here's an idea...look at this page to see what cornets the jazz greats played and then look at some youtube videos of their playing...you can decide which cornet and mouthpiece (mpc just as important as the horn) they played that you might like.

For those who may be interested. Aug. 5-7, as in right now, the Bix Lives celebration is taking place in Davenport, Iowa. _________________ "There are two sides to a trumpeter's personality,

Hello.
what is the most suitable Cornet to play ballads?
Hi Mirco.malpeli
I think that it depends on what you mean by ballads. Jazz ballads or ballad style solo cornet literature for a brass band or concert band. For the latter, I find my Yamaha Xeno with the yellow brass bell option, to be a great and very flexible, lyrical cornet, with a great sound. It would hardly be my choice for jazz ballads. I'd use flugel or trumpet.
If you want to use a cornet for jazz ballads, I think that you need to stay away from more British brass band orientated shepherd crook cornets, or at least one combined with a British brass band style cornet mouthpiece, as I don't think that a British brass band cornet set-up is going to give an appropriate sound for a jazz ballad, but we are all different, and if it works for you.
All the best

I have a Puje3 which is a nice ballad horn. I know it doesn’t answer your cornet question. It has a Shepherd’s crook bell but takes a trumpet mouthpiece.

It will be no surprise to those who have been around this forum for any length of time, but I’ll say it anyway. The answer - the best answer - is the Flip Oakes Wild Thing Shepherds Crook Short cornet. Don’t worry about price, if you can find on for sale. Make sure it’s in good shape, get the money and buy it.

There is one reason that I practice: to be ready at the downbeat when the final trumpet sounds.
This could fit the bill (expensive!): https://www.inderbinen.com/en/rondo-en _________________ 2019 Martin Schmidt eXcellence

The Monette Cornette definitely fits the bill (very expensive - I saved for years to get it)... https://youtu.be/7IF0o3C15VU _________________ Dan Pearlman
