Trumpet vs Cornet - discussion and demonstration

[@nattance1]

One of the clearest (and most succinct) explanations of the differences I've ever seen -- thanks. I would really like to see you do a similar one contrasting baritone horns and euphoniums. Here in the US, school bands call euphoniums "baritones" and don't use actual baritones at all!

[@gerhardhofer8058]

It's a fairly simple difference. Euphonium has conical piping, while baritone has cylindrical. Sound-wise, baritone is closer to trombone, while euphonium can be thought of as a mini tuba.

[@Deimos0VI]

My school calls it the euphonium

[@sceu25]

euphoniums also will usually have 4 valves while baritones mostly have 3 but there are 3 valve euphs and 4 valve baris

I'm back at this video once again. Even though I play both trumpet and cornet, the cornet has a special place in my heart and it annoys me when people call it a trumpet. And I am seriously tired of explaining the difference, so much so that when people ask me what instrument I play, I usually just say that I play the trumpet. I have now made it my mission to make the cornet a known instrument to the common folk. I have started by creating a local band only consisting of cornets. And I urge you, my fellow cornet players to do the same. Let us never have to explain the difference between a cornet and a trumpet ever again!

[@bettinajoseph3758]

I completely agree with you. Although I play a trumpet, I think post-horns like coronets indeed deserve there own classification.

[@irober02]

Nice playing. It seems both cornet and trumpet require similar amount of eye-brow agility. ;-)

[@cherryannknott6713]

Thank you so much - that was MOST informative! I found the cornet more mellow - a great-niece is learning the cornet, I shall now be less ignorant about it! She is actually playing rather well; aged 11, she makes a very pleasing sound; I hope she will continue with it

[@SiteReader]

When I was in elementary school band in the 1950s U.S.A., all the parts were for Bb cornet. The band teacher explained to us that the cornet used to be the standard band instrument, but we could play it on trumpet as well. I recently made a friend who is a middle school band teacher. When I looked at his band books, they are still marked for cornet. I have a 1955 Conn Victor trumpet, that passed through my younger brother and back to me. I took up the instrument again at age 72. After practicing on the Conn Victor for the first few months, I decided I might like the mellower sound of a cornet. I bought a cheap one online (CR400) from Thomann Music in Germany. Glad I did. I like the sound better, and it's easier to hold up, except for the hand grip, which I find a little tight.

[@SeekerLancer]

Pretty much all of my sheet music in high school in the early 2000's was for Bb cornet too.

[@jeltewijnsma9529]

If u play In a brittish brassband it’s all Bb cornets and one Eb cornet

[@mycobacteriem2540]

i graduated hs in 2013 and for quite a few songs during my middle and highschool years the trumpet section was given cornet marked sheet music

[@serjoprot]

Dues the cornet sound a bit softer? Or is that just my impression?

[@brassflyer4284]

Mariangiongiangela's Tech Tips It has a darker tone

[@Sephiewoth]

That's how I learned the difference between cornet and trumpet when I was first starting out. Corner is less of a slap in a face, more gentle.

[@normancanter1]

The cornet characteristically had and has a softer tone. The first great cornets Courtois, French Bessons 1865 - 1900 had a softer tone that was compatible with vocal arias of operettas or operas. With the rise of the trumpet, after 1900-1930, cornet sounds were made to resemble that of the trumpet and in appearance too in some cases as with the Conn Constellation cornets.

[@armynurseboy]

Trumpets tend to sound "brighter" while cornets sound "darker".

[@Darm0k]

Nikola Tesla cornets were considered solo instruments much more than trumpets in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. the virtuosic solo peices like Napoli and carnival of Venice were all written for cornet. it was probably jazz players who made trumpets into more soloistic instruments, although many early jazz players did play cornets. even Louis Armstrong early on his career.

[@jackspence1126]

The cornet, which has a conical bore (tubing gradually gets larger in diameter), while the trumpet has a cylindrical shape (same diameter until it reaches the bell portion). This changes the overtone series, which is more mellow in the cornet. It also makes the cornet a little easier to play with a little less resistance and easier to slur and play legato. The famous concert bands of the Sousa era used mainly cornets, as did the soloists such as the great Herbert L. Clark.

I have been watching this channel for about two weeks now and I have to say I enjoy it very much. I am only 16 years old but I play about 5 instruments and I plan to either teach music, or make playing my career. With my main instrument being a tenor sax, my knowledge of instruments only lies with the realm of saxophones and some clarinet things, as I play bass clarinet and Bb. But this channel has really helped me to discover the amazing side of brass and how everything works from a Tuba or a Bass Trombone to a piccolo trumpet. So for that, thanks, Mr. Hamilton.

[@Cantbuyathrill]

This back-to-back demo is the most illustrative, so far, I've seen. Including the flugelhorn (and the much-to-maligned, undeservedly so, piccolo trumpet) would be an even more comprehensive exposition.

[@spum789]

I've seen a lot of Trent's videos. This by far is the best showing of his "Trumpet" skills.

[@Johnh1953]

Very nice demonstration of tonal differences and mechanical differences. Thanks so much.

[@GaryBT]

I have had a trumpet with a first valve trigger instead of a saddle hook and I preferred it. I also currently own a cornet that does not have the shepherd's crook and has a third valve ring instead of a trigger. With the aesthetics of the trumpet and cornet there are no absolutes.

[@stephen.jenkins]

I hear cornet played in some older jazz recordings. This is a good comparison. Thanks. My only suggestion would be to put the playing of the more mellow instrument before the brighter one, i.e., cornet before trumpet,. to make them easier to compare.

[@MrQwerty15ification]

Cornets do not only use triggers. I sell instruments and that is actually the first cornet i've seen with triggers. Also, trumpets can come with triggers

[@harrelsontrumpets]

Technically, the cornet and trumpet are almost identical. Both are partially conical and cylindrical. There is a common misconception that the trumpet is cylindrical and the cornet is conical, but this is not true on modern 20th and 21st century instruments. The comparison of the bell flares is also inaccurate as the cornet bell is shorter, which explains why it appears to start tapering quickly at the base of the bell. The tapers on most cornets begin smaller than trumpet and end smaller than the trumpet, but flare faster. This fact combined with a deeper mouthpiece cup and wider backbore give the cornet a softer attack and tone than the trumpet. Nice video and discussion :)

[@ironmandave3000]

Are trumpet mouthpiece and a cornet mouthpiece interchangeable?

[@ianlee9647]

@@ironmandave3000 They are not compatible. The mouthpiece for the cornet is shorter and narrower than the trumpet mouthpiece. The difference in size is comparable to the difference in size going from trumpet to trombone

[@ironmandave3000]

@@ianlee9647 thank you I'm aware of that. I have played both. I was looking for someone else to help illustrate my point that trumpets and cornets are not the same. Doc Severinsen tells a great story how about trying to play cornet in a lead trumpet position. It doesn't work!

[@ajw9975]

I think the biggest contributor to the difference in sound (among other things) is the mouthpiece. I play a cornet. I can't say for certain what the "average" trumpet vs. cornet mouthpiece cup is for either instrument. But I know the typical "stock" cornet mouthpiece that comes with the cornet is deeper than the stock mouthpiece you get with your trumpet. I find cornet mouthpieces can range from very deep/funnel (almost french horn-like) to basically a trumpet-type cup on a cornet shank (Bach). Not so sure if the same in reverse is the case for trumpet mouthpieces. I alternate between a Denis Wick 4B and a Bach 3D, depending on the music. When I use the Bach 3D, I'm basically indistinguishable from the trumpets in my section.

[@Tmanaz480]

The different tone is magnified when you get a section of them playing together, as in a British style brass band or a proper concert band. (Most American school concert bands nowadays have trumpets where the cornets should be, since most students and amateurs don't usually own a cornet)

[@tungsten8290]

Dont forget having a proper British cornet mouthpiece !

[@Harmonic14]

That's odd - when I was in school, they started everyone on cornet, and trumpets were pretty uncommon.

[@mycobacteriem2540]

i think a lot of the us not using cornets, especially for school bands, has to do with budgets and ease of access. getting a proper even student cornet is probably out of the budget for most schools. i know my hs band, combined with the orchestra and choir, had the budget of a shoe string and a ham sandwhich. our only loaner trumpet looked like it could hold the worlds next pandemic within it. most kids coming into band were also started in trumpet anyway, at least when i was ins chool in the early 2000s. sad though, i really like the cornet's sound and would have switched tbh

[@NiecieB65]

I would have to play the cornet. My hands are small. This is a great comparison. The trumpet has a stronger sound. But, the cornet sounds good too. You are a very talented musician. Thanks for the video. You've helped me make an informed decision.

[@Markus_Breuss]

+Denise Borum the cornet is very lovely!

[@Tmanaz480]

Cornet is also easier for kids to hold properly, as it's shorter overall and the valves are closer to the player.

[@stansmith4054]

Are you a cornet player? I ran into some of your posts from a couple of older random videos about cornets. Strange indeed or maybe it really is a small world.

[@perryparsons9960]

Very good video, especially the playing comparisons. This is a great primer for the basic differences, and is by and large accurate. However, there have been so many variations on the common designs, that the lines do blur. For example, perhaps the most glaring variation is the American standard trumpet, the Bach Strad. It is in fact, a long cornet with a trumpet mouthpiece receiver, as the tubing graduates throughout the instrument. Many people, myself included, have verified this with the use of calipers. Also to be noted is the Besson 10-10 trumpet, which has triggers on both the 1st and 3rd slides, perhaps as an effort to duplicate the playing mechanics of the Besson Sov, truly a hallmark cornet. At the other end of the spectrum are the American cornets, void of any shepherd crook, but still very much cornets. While perhaps a bit brighter than their British cousins, they still are conical instruments with a very specific cornet tonal quality. Once again, this video should be the point from which all others take off as far as variations between trumpet and cornet.

Well demonstrated Trent,very informative.

[@brothergoodfoot]

Thank you, so enlightening! Despite the close similarity, I can really hear the hint of the old-timey jazz tone in the cornet. I think it's really a shame that the cornet gets so overlooked by jazz players and rock/pop horn section guys now.

[@spacejazz6272]

its definitely a softer, mellower sound

[@trumpetman514]

Thank you for posting. You are a fine musician. Nice double and triple tonguing.

[@Trolologram]

The manual/trigger tuning slide is NOT a key difference between the two. There are cornets with manual tuning slides and Trumpets with triggered tuning slides. I apologize if i come off as an ass, but I couldn't let this go. Very informational outside of that though.

He didn't say trumpets don't have trigger slides, he said he never saw one with a trigger slide.

[@glaslackjxe3447]

why don't trunpets typically have triggers? It seems a much more convenient means to an end in my opinion than manual slides

[@bradyh1782]

i'm guessing because it was how the trumpet was originally made and they didn't really bother to change it much, however some people/companies decided to take matters into their own hands.

[@datGuy0309]

The trumpet i just ordered has a trigger on the first valve slide, but a ring on the 3rd.

[@dwevors]

I have a Bach Strad made in the early 70's that has a first valve trigger. All my my friends Strads back them had saddles, but mine has a trigger. Another friend of mine from the 70's had a king silver flair with a first valve trigger also. FYI. Good video!

[@antiussentiment]

Man!! That was great. I had no idea a cornet was so much more mellow than a trumpet.. Makes sense when you look at how they are made.

[@tablloyd5]

Very good comparisons, however something should be noted: the cornet demonstrated (an excellent one btw) is a shepherds crook type. There is a natural mellowness in its sound compared to a cornet without the crook. Shepherd crooks are very popular with the Brits, while straight cornets are more popular in America I believe. The shepherds crook stands between the trumpet and the flugelhorn for that mellow sound, but the flugelhorn is larger, and bulkier say to use in the marching band. Those who want to play trumpet and flugelhorn, but cannot afford both will settle on the shepherd crook to satisfy both sounds more economically. A really fair comparison should be made with a straight cornet vs trumpet and the difference would be heard. The straight cornet is very handy because of its shorter size in marching, yet maintains that brilliant sound. The Salvation Army bands of Britain use them effectively, for example.

[@troutstudio]

Great stuff Trent. My son (plays trumpet) has been asked to join a Police Band, playing cornet. I found this very helpful. Kiwi's are the Southern Hemisphere musical race!

from this very well presented video I can tell that the cornet is warmer, the trumpet more harsh,brighter. It also seems that cornet is harder to play.

[@aidanchristensen1581]

The trumpets lead pipe is also conical. And my freind plays a trumpet with triggers. I think alot of the difference is less to do with the ammount of conical tubing, and more so the rate of expansion. Nowadays, modern trumpets aren't actually very different from cornets except for mouthpiece type and shape.

Thank you for an extremely informative video. I never realised the tonal differences in the cornet before and can understand why it's favoured for certain music pieces over the trumpet and vice versa.

I have been playing the cornet, and mine has manual slides, not triggers.

[@seasharpdeflat]

One great big ol' 'thumbs up' for you, sir!

[@diamondmidnightgardener]

Beyond the sound quality of the trumpet being brighter and the cornet being darker, my experience years ago was that the cornet was more personal... I got more feedback from the cornet whereas the trumpet projected more effectively, but because of that the sound felt more distant. So the cornet more introverted and the trumpet extraverted if I can use that analogy. No doubt I've made shocking sweeping statements and the particular instruments contributed to the sound and experience. I had an old Boosey and Hawkes cornet from a million years ago and a Yamaha student trumpet. I loved both

[@remygilboe1388]

BookWorm9229 theyre almost exactly the same. The cornet has a darker sound but not all cornets have a "shepards crook" and not all cornets use triggers. Also, some trumpets use triggers as well. A trumpet is used more in jazz and commercial use. However, a cornet is used often in orchestral pieces. You dont have to learn to play one or the other. If you can play one, you can easily play the other.

Dave Hickman did a blind (behind a curtain) study between the Trumpet and Cornet. The determination was made that the difference in sound (bright or dark) between the two instruments had more to do with the mouthpiece configuration than the instruments themselves.
