The resin cornetts are much better than the 3D printed instruments on offer elsewhere.
Wood is obvíously better but to learn on resin is fine. |

I have had a straight cornetto (I prefer zink as cornetto always confuses people) and curved. Moeck and Monk were the two manufacturers I know, both Geermany I think.
Did Renaissance music for years and also play recorder. Cornetto is in A and has odd fingerings. Designed and played early instruments including sackbutts. Had a lot of fun.
Will post pix if you like.

The 3D printed ones from Ricardo Simian are fine for learning. I personally prefer these to the older resin ones.
I have a Venetian model in boxwood by John McCann that is a joy to play, but I don't think he is making them anymore. |

I think your best bet is to find a used Christopher Monk in resin.
I purchased one on this site that was actually broken, for only $75. My repair guy did a really excellent repair on it, and it's basically as good as new.
I've seen them go for as cheap as $250 used.

How difficult is it to play a cornetto?
Is it an advantage if you play trumpet and recorder ? |

If you play recorder and trumpet, cornetto won't be difficult. I played cornetto years. It is hard to reach some fingerholes and acorn mouthpiece is difficult.
Range is the biggest difficulty, but not hard to expand range w/ practice.

How things have gone up in price - I got my Monk resin cornetto for £100 brand new (although this was about 25 years ago). Had a lovely trip to the Monk workshop and purchased it direct from them.
Must try and find it and see if I can remember any of the fingerings (probably haven't played it for 15 years) |
