Nice video, it is good to make know this fantastic musical instrument. A curiosity, - in Italy, the cornetto is also a croissant, a dessert for breakfast. Then in the italian renaissance music, there is also the cornamuto, which is not the cornetto muto but a straight crumhorn.
Thank you Kiri, very informative, and you are clearly very knowledgeable, and a talented musician. Quick question; is playing a chromatic scale on a cornetto particularly difficult?
Beautiful. I've got both, but I just miss the beautiful sound you deliver. Thanks for posting!
Hi Kiri! I was showing my son cornetto videos (he’s a composition student) and yours popped up. I hope you’re doing well!
Kiri and I used to play in brass quintet at Yale way back in 1993/1994!
We passed your comment along to Kiri, Pat, and she sends her greetings!

Hi Kiri! so glad to see you on TH-cam! :-)
Thanks!!
Where's the name Tollaksen from? I've never heard of the surname Tollaksen(son of Tollak) before, still sounds like it should be Norwegian(or Danish).

What's the key of the instruments?
man i'm gonna have to make that mute cornetto, it's really slick
I wonder if you could play it with a french horn mouthpiece
Did she perhaps mean to say "Mute Cornetto" , not "Mute Cornet" ?
Probably. =)
I believe this instrument was usually called a "Cornett" in English; the Italian "Cornetto" is used today to avoid confusion with the valved cornet.
it is as much woodwind as saxophone brass
Shut up and take my money!
Can you play us the blues?
