Keep in mind that many cornets use a "longer" valve block than trumpets so there is part of your weight. (I had this great idea of turning a Olds Ambassador cornet into a .468 bore super trumpet. Opps. It would have required a custom wider wrap bell and tuning slide.)


Andy, thanks for pointing that out. I had never even considered that, but that makes sense.
