Why is cornet easier to play than trumpet (for me)?

Expensive no doubt.
But I love my Basso and find an excuse to play it every day.
Wish I could easily afford more of their pieces.
They have an eight-month waitlist and by my experience it's not for nothing.

Yeah, I have been looking at the Maroon and the Rondo lately but with family and so forth, the prices are clearly out of my range these days. I can still look at the pictures and hope someone posts a sound clip can’t I Also, I generally agree that buying quality is worth it.

I have a Kanstul cornet that uses a trumpet mouthpiece and can say many positive things about it, but it does lack that certain charm one gets from playing a standard cornet.

You will secretly come to feel that trumpets are strident beasts, best muzzled by large diameter, deep throat, large drill mouthpieces, to give them a voice fit for civilized music.


When I first began regularly accompanying/performing with vocals (female in particular) with both Bb and C trumpets, I found a complimentary voice with larger throat, deeper V cups but still using my regular Reeves 41 rim (41C2J). That piece also seems to work well when playing a supporting role to other trumpets, particularly in many Chamber Orchestra situations. I find a very pleasant (at least on my side of the bell) voice in my Solo C trumpet applications as well (mostly Preludes and Offertories at my home church).

That dawning in my mind led me to my first ever fairly recent cornet experiences. I have found an even more striking blend (and ease of execution) using my Bach 184 and a Wick 5 (much more cost efficient than ordering a Reeves 41C2J cornet shank for experimentation). I like the setup very much! I am, admittedly, new to the cornet world but have become addicted to choosing my cornet over the other voices very often (maybe because it is still a fresh and thrilling relationship). Therein lies, at least for me, a fascination with the many subtle and very desirable differences from my other horns. I pray that this newfound attraction never pales…

Life is Short, find the Joy in it!

I've honestly started wondering... Are there trumpets that are large bore cornets in disguise but with a receiver to take a trumpet mouthpiece? If so, I'd love to try one.

My initial thought would be maybe something akin to either those old Conn’s that came in both trumpet/cornet version, or something like Adam’s Coppernicus maybe?


The Coppernicus came to mind for me as well, but it's also an unconventional looking instrument.

You're right, some of those Conn "Long Model" cornets sound exactly like what I had in mind. Fascinating!

I've been drooling over a Rondo lately. It's an incredible looking horn, and I'm sure it plays nicely as well...

This reminds me some of the Schagerl "Raweni" / "Raven" they developed with James Morrison:

Have always wanted to try one of these!

Yes, as I keep having left hand issues, any lightweight shorter instrument is interesting. But then I look at my bank account Still, the Raven is on the want-to-try-list as well.
