Gordon I play like that when i am sleeping. Fantastic control.
Thanks!
Which model of cornet are you playing here? Would you recommend it? I am looking to get a professional model of my own and I'm thinking a 928 Sovereign would be a safe bet at the moment, but I'm open to recommendations!
I play on a Geneva Heritage cornet. Its not as loud as a sovereign, but it has a nicer sounding low register, in my experience. You can't go wrong with a sovereign though. I would try the Geneva Symphony and the Yamaha Xeno as well. Both have their plus points. I tried the symphony model but found the tone a bit dull. Hence, why I play on the Heritage model.
Thanks Gordon! I will see what's available to me when the time is right. Is the Xeno different to the Maestro? I never really felt too secure on the Maestro, especially in the upper register. I'm currently playing a York Eminence 4028 (on band loan) with a DW 2BW and it has a really colourful and big sound. I think I prefer this style of instrument.
@@musicalcubes The Maestro had problems with the A above the staff due to the position of the trigger mechanism. Surprisingly, it was possible to make this a bit better by reversing the second valve slide so the little knob was on the inside. This kept some of the vibrations down. The Xeno and Neo are very similar to each other, but different from the Maestro.
Yes, the A was the issue exactly! It was extremely frustrating. I now want to borrow a Maestro again and try what you mentioned. The Maestro has 'the sound' if you know what I mean.
@@musicalcubes G sharp was also a problematic note. The Geneva Heritage was designed by the same person - Phillip McCann. It resolves the problems of the Maestro, but it is not cheap and you don't find them second hand. Sometimes Geneva have ex demo ones on offer.
