The cooperation between makers and players is the key to perfect instruments . During my active years as a maker , I always welcomed players to my workshop and took heed of their suggestions .
Great videos--we're all so glad you're suddenly back--but regarding mouthpiece material, I can definitely hear the difference between my silver-plated brass and my Lexan plastic mouthpieces. They are trombone mouthpieces, by the way. Perhaps that difference is more audible playing down in the bass clef staff region?
I bought mine from Ebay. Made by Monk. It cost me around £ 150 - I don't believe Monk is around any more, but 2nd hand Cornettos (or is it "Cornetti" ?) - do pop up occasionally. I built my own one sometime after selling my Monk instrument. I made it from brass, then covered it with leather .... it played, but not terribly well. I'm currently 3D printing a mute cornett. If it works any good, I'll cover it with leather.
Hello - The 3D Cornett printed okay but plays badly. It's leaking. I've given it several coats of lacquer on the outside but it's still leaking seemingly from quite near the mouthpiece. The exterior is sealed now so it has to be leaking from the inside into the hollow wall of the tube. My next task is to try and lacquer it internally without puddling. Another possibly leak source could be through the wall of a fingerhole, again into the hollow between the inner and outer skin. I have obtained a sheet of thin black leather for the exterior but I'm not going to commit that yet until the leak issue is solved.
I've watched 3 of these 'podcasts' and learned almost nothing: the mouthpiece is small, made of various materials, are important, and individualized. Other than that repetitious material a lot of short images and short musical snapshots.

Thank you so much for these podcasts. I have fallen in love with the sound of the cornetto.

Where could one buy a cornetto today? I've fallen in love with the sound and would love to learn.

Richard Barton Thank you! I've been checking eBay the last few weeks, and I'll just keep my eyes open for a while.
A few names: in Europe, Jeremy West, Damien Bardonnet, Sam Goble, Paolo Fanciullacci, in US John McCann. There are others as well…
@@and7barton keep us updated on the 3D-printed instrument!
