Now you can 'hear' the Sparx Cornet Mouthpiece in our new 'soundroom'
Canada's Norman Engel plays cornet solos by:
-Del Staigers
-Herbert L. Clarke
-J. B. Arban
These recordings showcase the new Sparx -soloist- mouthpiece as well as the Standard line mps.
You will find the Soundroom @ http://www.sparxmusic.com
Cheers,
Ted |

Hi Ted,
Beautiful, REAL cornet sound. This ain't your dad's ol' 7C trumpet top on a cornet shank.
It makes me want to break out the ol' short model tonight and make "Sparx" on my Sparx 3!
Your recordings are going to create more interest in people to discover the gentle, sweet sound that only a cornet can make.
Thanks again, and best wishes to sell a ton of 'em!
Warmest regards,
Tom Turner
PS: The new soloist mouthpiece adds just the right touch of "sparkle" to the sound to rise a tad above the section. It "sounds" like you hit another home run here. |

WOW. That guy is amazing. And the sound is amazing. And everything is amazing! Norman Engel has really impressed me...and he was educated about 60 miles from me! Very cool. Anyway, anyone know what kind of cornet he was playing on those recordings? I downloaded the Carnival one and the Fantasie one. (I only have 56k) Anyway, thanks for posting them! I have really gotten into the cornet sound lately, and the SPARX mouthpiece seems to make it all the much better!
