Hi,
I'm looking for an original Eb shank for my 1914 English Besson Soprano cornet.

The current shank is a replacement shank (probably a Bb cornet shank) that puts the soprano cornet in D.

A&G Music in Oakland California
is making a reproduction Eb shank.

Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
tromba9

Below is a link to the Reverb listing of the cornet;

You'll have to host the image elsewhere, then link to it.

A shank putting it in D?! Is it like a piccolo A-shank which can't be inserted past a certain point or something?
