Good service.

The personal service was excellent. Wanted the cornet for my son on his birthday but as it was out of stock, delivery would be close. Upgraded free of charge to one in stock to ensure it arrived in time. Many thanks.

Lovely instrument perfect for intermediate players

Surprising brilliance

I play in a brass band in East Sussex alongside experienced players with higher end cornets who listen to, and look upon, this beautiful instrument with envy. I bought the lacquered version last year and it really does sound amazing. It gives a lovely, rich, mellow sound, and is relatively free blowing providing easy reach of upper register notes. The valves spring reassuringly quickly, and overall this is simply a brilliant instrument.

Great Value

I bought this used and it’s great to play. For the price, new or used, it’s a bargain and I doubt I’ll be needing an upgrade for a good while. The supplied case and mouthpiece are also spot on.

Outstanding Cornet

This cornet is the best cornet I have ever played. I have owned two professional cornets and sold them as this is the best out of them all. The tone is deep and dark. The valves work perfectly. Do not discount this cornet because it is priced at the lower end of the market. Best cornet buy I have ever owned. Fantastic instrument.
