- What a fat sound! This could ned my 36 year relationship with my MF JetTone. It gets a bit squirrelly between a G and a C though. Hopefully that will improve.
Sounds amazing throughout the range! Inspiring me to strengthen my upper register - I have a reliable top Eb but above that is subject to how it feels on the day... I'm a cornet player 99% of the time but I'd like a few more notes so I can comfortably hit a high C at the end of a concert.
I am mainly a cornet player these days, but its really handy if top C stops being "top" C. Less to worry about when you see it ion the next line of the piece.
HI Gordon i am trying to buy. CHEAP soprano cornet could. Could you point me in the right direction JP have non in for two months? Regards David
I play an Imperial. I bought it used from £150 from an instrument repairer. Requires a couple of alternative valve fingerings but sounds great
Hi I have managed to get a Stealing soprano cornet which is great but I cannot play on the KOSIKUP mouthpiece. I am using my Yamaha 16E at the moment which seems ok. Do you know of a manufacture for a 17mm dia soprano mouthpiece. All the ones i find are 16.20 or so. Have a great Easter break. David
@@davidstorey2477 Sorry for the late reply. I played one of those cornets in Championship section back in the 1980s. I liked it. Most soprano players seem to be using trumpet type mouthpieces these days. I use an old Kosikup but its a smaller mouthpiece again. Maybe the Warburton series might be a thing to look at too.
@@GordonHudson Hi Gordon I am using a Schilke 13B which seems to work but i think it is a Bflat mouthpiece and not soprano. I have been playing Soprano for three weeks and my top register on my tenor and flugel is improving greatly. Lots of people tell me not to play different instruments but it is starting to work for me. Thanks David
@@davidstorey2477 That advice is clearly from a brass band perspective. Trumpet players in orchestras, even amateur ones, have to play Bb, Eb, D and piccolo trumpets! Its normal. I find the secret of being able to swap mid flow is having the same blowing resistance between instruments. Anyway, I am about to do a video explaining where I have been. I really need to do some more videos, but I hit a medical problem.
