Hub van Laar produces a long cornet, the Kevin R. Clark model which I suspect to be outstanding. An older Yamaha 2310 or 231 will do everything you want, though billed as a student horn still they are excellent players.

If you haven't perhaps you should try the Schilke A1. The best long cornet I ever played, be that many years ago. Wonderful sound and enough projection to reach out there in a hall. That would go out the door about a thousand less than the Taylor you mentioned. Still big bucks but if you play it alot worth the money. _________________ "There are two sides to a trumpeter's personality,

Hi, I know this is an old thread, but there is something I'd like to ask any of you who have tried/bought the 3880 LONG model.
Does this long model version of the 3880 cornet come with regular weight or heavy weight valve caps?
There is this video of Trent Austin playing a large bore long model 3880 and it has regular weight caps, but I'm not sure if this is a standard or custom configuration of the CCR-3880/3882-GSS(LB)-L model:
It is not as as bad you say (though almost): there are some long cornets on eBay plus there are some instrument makers that will also make you a long cornet (even though some don’t post them on their website.
Moreover, if you contact Carol Brass or another manufacturer, they will probably be happy to make you one. _________________ 2019 Martin Schmidt eXcellence

Trent bought this horn from me. It was a completely custom build, and I requested the regular weight caps. To be honest, they might only build these on request as custom orders. If so, then there isn’t really a “standard configuration”. _________________ The name I go by in the real world is Joe Lewis
