Good service and good quality student instruments

This review relates to s JP271SW Bb Cornet which I recently purchased for our band. The response and service from John Packer was excellent. Short delivery time. The instrument itself is very good. In October last year I also bought a JP176 Eb Soprano Cornet. Same response and service, and again for a student instrument the quality is very good. Above all I consider these instruments to be excellent value for money.

JP27 1SW Bb cornet

Hi Cornet looks very nice. The case it came in. I can only fit two mute in it apart from that the case is very good, my son hasn’t played it yet because it’s his Christmas present, hopefully it will sound brilliant, thank you for the prompt delivery to me in Jersey Channel Islands. Thank you.

Pleased

Having searched the internet for both new and used cornets I decided new gave me more security. The price seemed so reasonable that I was a little anxious . It arrived on time and I took it straight to my teacher for her thoughts. She was impressed. Phew.
I’ve been playing it for a few weeks now and it is easier to get the higher notes than on the cornet I’d been loaned, however this may be due to the slightly smaller mouth piece.

Cracking cornet

As a returning player, I spent FOREVER tasking eBay and Facebook marketplace for secondhand Sovereigns/Maestros in my price range..... it was never going to happen. So I started to look at more purse friendly options, and found a number of people praising this cornet.

You see, I was spoilt as a young teen - I rocked up to my local band room fed up there was no local windband for me to play clarinet with. I had no idea that they were a Championship section band or what that meant. After 2 weeks of free tuition, I was handed a Sovereign 928 and quickly contesting in a third cornet seat. I eventually moved to tenor horn, and joined another championship section band while I was away studying. I was never in a position, or had the need, to buy my own instrument. Then marriage, kids etc, and I’ve been out of Banding for coming up 15years and haven’t had an instrument to play.

I’m convinced banding kept me on the straight and narrow growing up (ish, what happens on the contest bus stays on the contest bus, right?!) I would love for my kids to be involved too. I’ve been tinkering with an old cheap battered cornet I found lurking in a pawn shop for £20. And I am definitely going to rejoin my old band in the summer, and once I’ve got my confidence back. And I’ll get my kids along to the starter group too. The band collapsed a few years back, reformed as a training band and have shot back up to 2nd section already.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this cornet, buying blind. Quite honestly considering the price I was prepared to be a little disappointed compared to my fond memories of my old sovereign cornet and maestro horn. But boy, it blows beautifully. Effortlessly! It’s a good weight and the valves are fast and smooooooth!! I can’t even find a blemish in the lacquer. I know the bore is narrower, if I feel I need a larger bore I won’t hesitate to come back for the 371.... or maybe a tenor horn if I can fight for my old seat back!!!

Thank you so much!
