Its tubing length is the same as in the trumpet; however, cornets differ from trumpets due to their compact conical shape. This shape makes them a perfect instrument for young players who might feel comfortable with a much smaller instrument during practice than adult players. Cornets are also pitched in Bb, so their sound is characterized by a warm tone, which adds unique accents to classical pieces and contemporary songs. Cornets are present in many genres; however, they are mostly favored by musicians from brass bands. International Buyers Please Note: We do not ship outside of the United States! No Exceptions.
