Hey, Doron! Whatever happened to that Peter Carvallo special you started with? You went from recorder, to shawm, to cornetto in less than two years, and as I recall, Peter was making mold-injected plastic cornettos as a lark, explaining that he made them without a curve and put the curve into them by bending them with his hands when they were still hot, and you picked one up, more or less as a lark also -- and fell in love with it, as I recall. Was that your first cornetto? I can't remember -- it was so long ago. (I was the drummer in Carvallo's band at the time, if you're wondering how I know this stuff.) Good to see you're still out there, still playing. Salutations from northern California, and well wishes for your continued good health and success. :)
@@MrFeynmanDiagram Yep. He's one of the four or five greatest cornettisti in the world, along with the likes of Jeremy West, Bruce Dickey and Jean-Paul Tubéry.

Is it difficult to play this instrument?
Oboe can sound like the cornetto.
