Hello there, I'm a complete begginer and just bought this cornet as of 10/2021. They seem to actually have listened to you, Trent! They removed the ugly growth under the slider ring and improved drastically the de-burring of the valves. I was getting ready to do the job only to find out that it was perfectly done! I was also going to give it a thorough wash, but noticed that the valves and sliders where actually pretty clean, no black goop nor metallic residue anywhere to be found. This cornet is a bloody unicorn for it's price. Cheers!

[@mason11198]

That intro was amazing. Your pure talent!

[@kaiherrick4183]

I got a King 603 cornet from eBay last year for $175. There are hardly any dents/scratches on it. I used it to play solo cornet on Procession of the Nobles last year with my high school concert band and let me just say that was the luckiest purchase I’ve ever made online.

[@dylanjmedia715]

Procession is a hella fun song. Those nice solo parts are very satisfying

May God bless you Trent! I always love seeing that notification that you posted a video! Never was I disappointed in what I saw, and keep it up!

i have the same cornet except i got the one thats all nickel plated for a few dollars more. the valves work great and go a long time between oiling.

[@guyjordan8201]

Great to see another video from you. Fun review and tune. Peace and health man.

[@andreasrenepetzak375]

Trent you can file the nob under the ring down, so it doesn't kept by the stopper, and hold it than with a rubber loop, so it doesn't fall of, simple but functional

[@Xzyum00]

I do like the visual editing where you showed the lump very clearly.

[@GordonHudson]

My Olds cornet has that lump on the tuning slide ring too.

[@georgeparkins777]

My friend has a 70's Olds Ambassador with it. My 50's Ambassador has a much weirder situation: there is a mount for a finger ring--on the SLEEVE, where it can't push the slide out at all! My friend insists it's a lyre holder, but it looks nothing like the lyre holders I've seen, and everything like a finger ring holder. And indeed when I first inherited the cornet fifteen years ago I think it even had a cheap finger ring mounted in it.

[@morokotow1285]

I am surprised at the improvement of the quality of discounted Chinese made trumpet and cornet for the last 1-2 years. However, they are due to specific factory products. For example, Stomvi's body is also made in China. However, it is sad that there is a case that the instrument is broken if it is a direct delivery from China. Hahaha…

Junk review, no demo

[@RobCuesta1]

@@jaywallker4552 I think the trio at the start was played on it. Certainly looked like the same instrument

[@fredjones5698]

the bump on the third valve ring is also on the conn 20a's, not sure about the other ones thought

[@tervaaku]

Hey Trent, There are some very weird instrument that I have seen when I were in Germany. It is called Schalmey (the new version), and has three valves that control many bells.

[@TrentHamilton]

I bought one a while back that I need to fix before I video it.

[@theophae]

As you love to do reviews, have you ever heard about the LefreQue plaques that are supposed to improve the ease on playing wind instruments. It would be nice to see if it also make the difference on a chip instrument.

[@a-funk1253]

It would be nice to see you reviewing Carol Brass trumpets(say, a 5000 model, the most common one). I have heard good things about them and I haven't found a decent review still. Those are rather inexpensive here in Europe, I wonder how it is in NZ.

[@Obliv69]

Hi Trent, i just bought this cornet in silver colour and haven't played one in 35yrs since high school (this one time at band camp I stuck a cornet in my......cornet case ;) ) can you please do a video on how you do a full clean, de burr the slides, remove the tumour or anything you'd suggest before playing it? thanks in advance

[@lapiswake6583]

Could you do a video on the Trumbone? It is an instrument I've only just come across when looking for piccolo and sopranino trombones on that well known online auction site, and seems interesting.

[@JackalSniperSnipez]

I have kind of the same case here but it’s with a usable 1000$ f trigger trombone

[@thekathal]

I learnt for 2 and a 1/2 years and did my grade 3 and 4 on one of rhese!

[@AFN2750]

My thing with super cheap instruments like this, is that the used market is just so much better. I bought a 50s(ish) getzen tone balanced super deluxe cornet for less than that, and it’s a quality instrument, sounds great, plays great, absolutely zero complaints for my first brass instrument (woodwinds for many years).

[@pukalo]

I just bought a cornet off of ebay for $50 CAD (I was the only bidder and I bid the minimum amount). The listing said the instrument had been looked at by a repair man and it was working. Also nice Hogwarts march.

[@debbieholmes6720]

just want off facebook

Can you compare this with a similar priced used cornet? What is the differences and what do you prefer.

[@JoCE2305]

Let's be honest, you can make anything sound good.

[@dirkundangelahoffmann]

I Love that Intro!!!

[@vicmanshy]

I also like the one in the intro, I have searched and searched for nice horn music like these tunes, please let me know the names of this piece also

[@BjoernKarlsson]

Hello! I have The same Rotary cornet with vertical buttons like The one farthest down on The Wall behind you to the left in the vid. Mine is russian made and actually sound quite Nice! I have not stumbled upon another one until now...

[@frenat]

I bought my daughter a very good cornet for $120. An almost new Yamaha that was sold on Facebook.

[@scooba4247]

Hey Trent, for Christmas I’m probably gonna get a trumpet, could send a link for the intro music you played, but if you can’t, send a link for the same music but for the bari sax

[@mattio79]

The bump on the slide key is not unprecedented. The Olds Ambassador cornet had one too. I've had 2 of those horns, one from 1956 and one from 1972. They both had the bump. It's exactly for what you said it is for. The reason they put it there is because the horns i had were student horns, as i suspect the horn you're showing today is purposed for, given the price.

[@allwinds3786]

I take an Ambassador with me wherever I go! Don't leave home without it!

[@amat3ur214]

I am starting to play trumpet and do you have any tips

You should review the pocket trumpet by eastar on amazon

[@unmetplayer2727]

I mean you can buy a Besson new standard for £300

[@LarryShone]

You say perfect for a child, but what about an adult, such as I, who has never handled never mind played a brass instrument, and who doesn't have a lot of money. There are fairly cheap priced Gear4Music instruments on their website, but I'm not sure who makes them for them.

[@basefire]

Is it metal or plastic

[@crimsonemperor2219]

Can you play an alto trombone with a trumpet mouth piece and get any musical value with it?

[@Markworth]

It kind of works, but sounds pretty thin and icky. You need one with a really long taper since alto bone is small tenor shank. A wide and shallow baroque trumpet mouthpiece sounds pretty good, if you don't mind your mouthpiece costing more than your horn. Seems like most players are looking for the exact opposite of "bright and heroic" sound on the alto, though.

[@trailblazer7702]

@Trent Hamilton, I am an intermediate trumpet player looking for a cornet to buy as well. Since as you mention this horn is recommended to beginners, is this cornet good enough for a semi-professional band?

[@TrentHamilton]

I wouldn’t use it as a long term instrument in a semi-professional band.

of all the cheap horns you have reviewed this one has a place. however mid 60s conn directors and olds ambassadors in good condition are plentiful . i prefer the olds special but finding one for under $400 in good condition will be hard to find.. the conn directors are better built horns than the ambassadors . they are just not as popular so the prices are cheaper.
