Great video Trent. Whats your opinion about the Cornet Besson Prodige? I can't find much information about then. I'm looking for a good entry level Cornet, not so expensive. In Brazil is difficult to find good stuff, I'm planning to import a student cornet.
The Doubler name is meant for our series of horn that are high quality and consistent, but also designed to be at a price point for people who need a professional horn but do not play one regularly enough to justify an investment of the sort you’d need for many of the pro quality horns on the market. This series gives people the opportunity to “double” on another horn without breaking the bank and without sacrificing quality.
I have an ACB doubler large bore. I absolutely love it, but have one recurring "problem" .. this horn seems to collect condensate more than any other horn (cornet/trumpet/flugelhorn} I have. Anything that can be done?
be sure to check the waterkeys to make sure there's no excessive buildup there. Cornets tend to catch a wee bit more water due to the extra bends in tubing. Also you can do this trick to help get the water out: 1. Hold trumpet as normal; 2. Tilt 90 degrees to the left (i.e., counter clockwise) so that the valves are horizontal, with the valve buttons pointing to your left; 3. Angle the bell up a few degrees; 4. Press down 3rd valve and blow (some folks find it best to remove the mouthpiece before blowing); 5. Press down 2nd valve and blow; 6. Press down 1st valve and blow; 7. Rotate 90 degrees counter clockwise so that valve buttons are pointing straight down; 8. Tilt bell downwards and lots of water runs out clearing all parts of the instrument! This is employs the the same technique used by french horn players. It really does work and can be far faster than removing slides or even operating 2 water keys.
I learned on that Conn it was my fathers and I am 71.
