Dale said it. I organize a 10 member concert band trumpet section. 7 of us own cornets, as we play/played in the brass brand also. We have a strong section, and the ability to have cornets, warms up the high brass sound. Most of us playing cornets, play a deeper cup and similar width with our shepherd crook instruments. |
Fully agree with you, the difference in sound has a big impact.

Because not everyone in the trumpet section has both a trumpet and cornet (there's a few of us who do and we bring both), depending on the piece of music I may play trumpet on one piece, cornet on the next one, and then back again.
I don't mind it, as to me it's helping to improve my flexibility, but I'm curious if there is something I should do to make this change between instruments better/easier? I try to keep both horns warm by blowing air through them (when possible) so that at least I'm not going to pick up and play and be sharp right off the bat until the horn warms up, but is there anything else? |
I actually switch between trumpet and flugel on a regular basis. I normally do this when playing solos for church or in a few quintet pieces. All I do is practice making the changes regularly. There doesn't seem to be a problem.
