The target customer base is the learner player (age irrelevant in this day and age) – but with little doubt that it is aimed to capture the imagination of those around the age of 7 who are making their first decisions about what they want to do with extra-curricular activities in school and hobbies in their spare time. Research In the early 1970s the BBC television science programme ‘Tomorrow’s World’ told us that by the turn of the 21st century we would be all commuting to work in driverless cars and enjoying the benefits of nuclear energy so cheap that electricity bills would be a thing of the past. It is known as a brass instrument with valves but has a short semi-conical tubing and less brilliant tone that falls somewhere between bright sound and deep sounds. The structure of the Cornet is similar to the structure of a trumpet, but with a more compact and complex appearance that contributes to the unique sounds it produces. This trumpet comes with two acrylic mouthpieces, 3c and 5c, and is compatible with any other standard mouthpiece there is to fit your preference. For trumpets, we used Bach 3C, 5C, 7C, 10-1/2C mouthpiece sizes, for trombones we used Bach 6-1/2A, 7, 15. Our conclusion: on plastic horns, mouthpiece material matters much more than mouthpiece size.

Standard brass cornets are easily dented or damaged and require a little more general maintenance. The pCornet is made from recyclable ABS plastic and is durable and strong. The pCornet is a worry free and fun beginners brass instrument. You can decide whether you want a silver or gold finishing instead, to get that appearance confusion out of the way. In our opinion, a beginner should first use the list with a silver plated cornet with transposed Bb; a cornet with this specification is easier to play and commonly available.In my experience of playing and listening to others play multiple brands of plastic trumpets and plastic trombones, EVERY SINGLE PLASTIC HORN sounded noticeably better with ANY silver-plated brass mouthpiece that we tried, versus the OEM plastic or acrylic mouthpieces that came with the plastic horns. Though a fully plastic trumpet is sure to come with a good amount of skepticism, the company behind this product has made sure the pTrumpet is affordable while sacrificing as little quality as possible. The unique fully plastic valve system and one-piece lead pipe design allow for a rather well-received sound quality that comes as a pleasant surprise to many users. Your recommendation against starting on a plastic trumpet for beginners is understandable. Having a real brass trumpet can provide a better foundation for learning and blending in with school bands. It’s important to consider the sound and playing experience that a beginner needs to develop their skills. It mirrors the huge impression its products have made across the world, including the USA where the hyTech trumpet was acclaimed as the ‘Best Teaching Tool for Intermediate Students’ at the influential NAMM Conference in California earlier this year – an event that attracts over 115,000 educators, teachers, and professional players.

The main tuning slide is easily replaced, whilst the first and third are interchangeable. The valves can swap places too – opened from the bottom. You will need to keep an eye on the springs not bouncing into the dark crevices of the settee, but there shouldn’t be any real reason why they need to be opened up. Product Information The pCornet is a lightweight, easy to hold beginners cornet. It is a fun, compact brass instrument that is ideal for new players and younger beginners. The mouthpiece chosen can have a huge bearing on producing the tone as well as the degree of difficulty when playing. A larger mouthpiece is easier to work with initially but will demand more effort when playing higher notes. On the other hand, a smaller mouthpiece may make it more effortless to play higher notes but may also lead to fatigue faster. Leadpipe Tromba may well have a hit on their hands here - as the cornet really does offer a well put together alternative to the ubiquitous plastic trumpets.Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
