Touch the fronts of your lips together, look for a hole at one or both sides, use the one that feels most natural, stick the fipple over it, and that will give you a proper off-set cornetto placement and embouchure. Use very little pressure, just enough to make a seal. Unlike playing a regular brass instrument, don't use the muscles of the embouchure to manipulate the aperture. Use the surface of the lips only, and the muscle in, not around, the lips. Pretend the sides of the aperture are little vocal chords, and you'll pretty much have it. Think co-ordination, not strength. If you try to use strength to play a cornetto, it'll always defeat you.
Hello youtuuba, this was an excellent video. lots of great info as well, would you share the stl file for this print? I have not been able to find any way to request it from the university.
Johnbrazier, sorry, no I can't. The author and 'owner' of the files, and his institution, are named in the video, and as I kind of anti-spam effort, his contact info will NOT be named directly. Lots of others have reached him with a little effort.
Theshinytrumpet, I think it is at A=440, but not absolutely sure. Watch my companion video where this and three other cornetti are played for comparison, and you can then judge the pitch.

Thank you! I don’t have one yet, but clear instruction is sparse. This instrument absolutely needs a widespread revival.
History, including that of instruments, is fascinating.

Hi, I'm trying to track down the files for this. Could you please let me know where I could find them? Many thanks

Does anyone make a cornettino? I have a little trouble stretching my fingers to my cornetto?
How did you get the print files? I've been wanting to build a Cornetto but I can't find the stl files anywhere 😅
DedMew51c, I got them from the guy who I mention in the video. He can be looked up online, and contacted to request the files.
@@youtuuba thank you!!!!!!!!
How did you model it?
Senhorreplho, I did not model it, and said that in the video.
Is this instrument at modern or historical pitch?
Theshinytrumpet, I think it is at A=440, but not absolutely sure. Watch my companion video where this and three other cornetti are played for comparison, and you can then judge the pitch.
Really love this video. Beautiful!!!
I have the same model but sounds so airy, do you know why?
Do another video but making a Lyzarden!!!!!!!
Forveilleier, probably yours has one or more pinhole leaks.
@@youtuuba thanks!
Do a Lyzarden!
Uo tengo uno hecho rn Buenos Aires.
