Nice demo. I prefer cornet, because I like its warmer sound and "singing" range. My musical taste is 1920s jazz and I started playing cornet during my Bix Beiderbecke phase. These days I mainly play stringed instruments, which don't annoy the neighbors as much as the cornet did.
Love this Chris. A very clear explanation and demonstration. I play ( Eb tuba these days, but I started on the Bb cornet ) in a British brass band. There are no trumpets, just cornets as the warmer sound of the Cornet lends itself better to the layering and structuring of a band sound. The trumpet is more a solo instrument and you can't have a band of soloists. Of course there is always the Eb Soprano cornet, of which there is usually only one in a band, if you want to make a "stand out" sound. Despite being the smallest instrument in the band it is, arguably, the hardest to play. If you want to go the other way, the flugel horn has an even warmer sound than the cornet, it's "the comfy old armchair" of the higher pitched instruments.
Hi Chris, my son is 7yr old and started two weeks ago with his trumpet classes. The teacher told us to buy a cornet about the size. Now I know more about the differences between this two nice instruments for your great video, thank you!
It’s my pleasure to serve and I wish your son good luck on this new journey. It’s a great one. As he wants to learn new concepts, the channel is here for him. Thanks Ruben!
Great video. As a singer I prefer to have brass included in most compositions. There's just something powerful about the "announcement" that comes when brass instruments are played.
Great tutorial, Chris! I already play both the Bb trumpet and flugelhorn. It's time for me to add the cornet to my repertoire for those warm, smooth jazz tunes. I should be up to the challenge, being that all three instruments play in the treble clef, and share the exact same fingering chart. BTW: I can use my trumpet mouthpiece with my flugelhorn. 😊🎼🎺🎶
Now I'm curious about the use of cornet in the wind band. (More specifically concert band) and why it may not be used. School bands often have an issue with trumpets being too loud. The cornet seems really suitable.
In full orchestra or even some wind ensembles, the cornet is a more desirable instrument to be used by trumpet players because of its softer sound. It’s pretty much up to the director what instrument players use. In my experience, the trumpet is a better pick for symphonic band, at least at my school. My first trumpet parts required being particularly loud and high. If a trumpet player is too loud, then the director needs to smack some sense into that player. It’s not hard to be soft on trumpet, but it is pretty hard to be soft in context.
our band is playing Slava! by Leonard Bernstein arr. Clare Grundman and it has both Cornet and Trumpet parts that are both different. so theres a 1st cornet part and a 1st trumpet part that have different notes written in
Really your lessons are interesting. When I was a child I loved the trumpet and cornet very much. Because the keys attracted me. Unfortunately I have learnt 7 instruments to play but failed in blowing instruments.😂
Just subscribed. I've been learning Cornet for two months because i love the sound. And there were more of them in good brands like vintage CONN onneBay. But after i am ready for a newer intermediate horn, i will need to settle. My goal is to be a Miles fusion tribute player, and that was another benefit the cornet. GREAT CHANNEL
The information cas clear and accurate; but you can find that in other places. What got my "like", Chris, was your voice: so warm, so natural. It's like listening to your best friend.
Something else to consider about which is "easier"... Trumpets are widely available in medium, medium/large, and large bore sizes whereas cornets are more commonly available in large bore sizes. A larger bore cornet with its conical bore requires more air and offers less resistance than an ML bore trumpet with its cylindrical bore, and this can impact a player's endurance and range. For this reason, I find it more comfortable to play trumpet over cornet. Especially for extended periods.
Good explanation EXCEPT for you comment that the Cornet is smaller. Both Trumpet and Cornet are the same length. The cornet tubing is wrapped so it appears smaller/shorter. To prove this, both Trumpet and Cornet have the same pitch when playing similar notes. If the Cornet were smaller, it would sound higher in pitch.
But, if the cornet is wrapped so that it's shorter, then there will be less leverage and that might make it easier for a child to hold it up for a while.
To me, the difference will always just be that cornets sound better. :-) I love the more cushiony sound they make, but I've wondered how much of it is due to the player and the mouthpiece. I tried to play a brass instrument once, but my overbite killed it. Thankfully, the 8-key flute was there! Actually it sounds like the differences between the 8-key flute and the modern Boehm flute are much like the differences between cornet and trumpet. Conical v cylindrical bore, dark/rich v light/penetrating sound, quieter v louder, and less range up high.
Nice explanation, Chris. Good demonstration, too. I never mastered brass instruments. In Jr. High my younger brother played trombone and I played oboe and clarinet. We swapped for a while, but then gave up.
Hi Chris, great explanation! that 1st lick on the Cornet, I recognize the sound but can't quite place it ... please share the name of the tune? Love your playing by the way ... inspired now to pick up a Cornet, cheers!
What mouthpiece it is? I ask because I've seen you play it in other videos and it looks like a great mouthpiece. The sound is equal to the Monette which I cannot afford. Thank you.
In a way it seems like the difference from player to player might sometimes be bigger than the cornet-trumpet difference. If you had a trumpet player with a naturally dark sound, vs a cornet player with a naturally bright sound, you would still have a darker sound out of the trumpet player? Granted, he could get a sound that is even darker by switching to cornet, but it would relative, not constant.
The choice of mouthpiece is also significant, and some cornets are more trumpet-like in sound. Some of my friends bring several different b-flat brass horns to a job and play whichever one they think suits the tune.
@@TuanBasikal I think I heard apocryphal stories about guys like Lew Soloff showing up to a gig with a literal bucket of mouthpieces and switching based on the tune like you said.
Be interesting to hear A B of same cornet played with bowl versus funnel mouthpiece. And an A B of same trumpet played with bowl versus funnel mouthpiece. I'd like a M P bringing my trumpet sound closer to a cornet.
Man, that’s a tough one but I suppose I could. So far I have stayed away from posting other content on this channel because the rules of social media (TH-cam) change so often. I don’t want to get penalized in the future. But that is an important topic that people need to study.
@@ChrisDavisTrumpet Completely understandable. If you could make a video about that, (regardless of the platform that it’s posted on) that would be greatly appreciated.🙏
Another great video Chris. Thank you. Who makes good conical mouthpieces for cornet? The cup on my bach mouthpiece for cornet is just like the cup on my trumpet mouthpieces. Not conical.
I think a discussion cornet vs. trumpet mouthpieces is also in order. A question I have for you. There are trumpet type mouthpieces that you can fit onto a cornet (i.e., Bach) to make it sound, "trumpet-like". But is the reverse true and ever used (i.e., cornet type mouthpieces made for a trumpet)? I don't feel deep bowl-funnel type mouthpieces you find on a cornet are as common in the trumpet side of things.
I own a flugel cup with a trumpet shank and the trumpet sounds more like a flumpet. Maybe I can demonstrate that some time on the channel. Great topic, thanks for this comment!
Nice job Mr. Davis-enjoy your posts. Let us all give thanks to "Pops" (Louis Armstrong) for making the obviously highly intellectual superior decision of switching from the Cornet to Bb Trumpet, despite the fact Elden Benge considered the Bb Trumpet a "gimmick" we're all glad he was proved hysterically wrong. This statement, though tongue-and-cheek, has some truth
if i saw right it is the corent which is significantly louder. The difference of 3 decibels corresponds to a doubling of the volume. Trumpet peek at about 107db and about cornet 110db. But from psychoacoustic point of view the difference is not that big.
Coronet sound is more toy-like with a soft, fluid attack where trumpet is percussive, bright and focused. I noticed most people mention coronet conical and trumpet straight but there is more to this. Saxophones are conical but straight, where coronets tubing is less conical but wrapped more like a pocket trumpet. When you try to clean a coronet, you especially see the difference because all the turns make it almost impossible for proper maintenance which is one reason why they stopped being popular. This and their lack of ability to blend with the louder more in tune trumpet section. One of the most important physics that I never hear mention as different than trumpet is the entire lead pipe assembly on coronet is longer than trumpet (and conical originally because straight tubing losses clarity) and coronet bell is shorter than trumpet hence the toy-like sound. lead pipe on brass is where the responsive, clarified, tonal design is found. The bell is the amplifier that characterizes the instrument. Balance trumpets had a much longer bell for a deeper amplified characterization and a shorter lead pipe assembly for more tonality, and flexibility control. Bore size changes characteristics, and volume when played melodically but when forced past standard tonal design and depending on the musician whether coronet or trumpet original characteristics are undefined due to significant diversity,
It has always been a bit of a mystery to me why the trumpet has become so much more popular than the cornet among players. It seems like there is a "real men play trumpet" vibe in some music rooms. Any thoughts on that? Btw, I would also like to see a video comparing either cornet or trumpet to flugelhorn.
I know what you mean when you say there’s a vibe that real men play trumpet. I’m not sure where that came from but it certainly isn’t valid. Cornet is a beautiful sounding instrument and I intend to play it more often! A flugelhorn and trumpet and cornet comparison? Sure, you’ve got it!
My understanding is that in jazz, the cornet which had been more popular (as jazz was rooted in a brass band tradition) was replaced by the trumpet mainly because the trumpet could go higher, above the range of the other instruments. The cornet was actually the first brass instrument to have valves, and was first used in military bands, where practicality overcame tradition. It took longer for orchestral players to accept valved instruments.
In my opinion the main difference between them its not neccesarly the timbre because there are many C cups long shank cornet mouthpieces available and with that kind of mouthpiece even the best shepherd crook cornets like the yamaha neo or besson sovereign sounds bright almost like a trumpet and on the other hand we have trumpet mouthpieces with V cups like the yamahas 14E or 16 E that make most trumpets sound dark, i think that what makes them different is that on the cornet its easier to get more conection between the notes so the phrases sound more lyrical with a more singing quality also the cornets are known to be more agile making easier to play difficult tonguing passages cleaner than on trumpet, also there are some trills like the one from middle c to middle d that are usually cleaner on the cornet than on the trumpet, thats due to the way the air travels the instrument. The timbre of the cornet its more versatile than the trumpet, at low volume with the right mouthpiece it could sound almost like a flugelhorn, and pushing it with a c cup or shallow mouthpiece it could sound as bright as a trumpet but with less projection, one musician that took advantage of the cornet versatile timbre was Nat Adderley. By the way your sound its amazing on that cornet, i guess thas a yamaha 2310 ii or iii.
You’re spot on in everything you’ve said here, Santo! I was considering making a video about how a mouthpiece would change the sound of a cornet/trumpet. And yes, it is a Yamaha 2310 III. Good Eye! Can’t go wrong with any Yamaha products!
@@ChrisDavisTrumpeta video on just M P characteristics would be appreciated. Especially how a M P could bring one instrument closer in sound to the other. Specifically the type of M P that might lend the trumpet more of the warmth.
Yes, it is! I was thinking to make a video comparing cornet to flugelhorn because they are more similar in sound than the trumpet is to either of them!
It's interesting that Louis Armstrong, at some point in the 1920's switched from cornet to trumpet. This was about halfway his Okeh recording period. So far nobody has been able to hear what Louis' first trumpet Okeh recordings were. And about a cornet sounding "warmer" than a cornet - it all depends on the embouchure of the player. I have played both for some 50 years now and I don't hear the difference. Moreover, I can make my cornet sound like a trumpet and vice versa. Another example: Red Nichols has always been listed in discographies and on record sleeves as playing the trumpet - however, he NEVER did. Red ALWAYS played cornet. There is really no difference - it all depends on the individual player's embouchure.
Do you have a personal preference between the two? I'd imagine the one you'd want to choose would depend on the piece you're playing, but just as far as the sound and tone go, do you have a preference?
Does anyone know what song he played at ~1:50 to show the overall difference between the two instruments? I feel like I have heard that song but cannot remember the name of the song. Thanks in advance!
@@ChrisDavisTrumpet It’s a beautiful horn. I shouldn’t have spent that much money . I bought a Monette B4002 for it .The Bundy was only $250 in silver and in great shape. Also own a Flugalhorn
I once heard someone describe the difference of tone in visual terms, with the trumpet being like a laser and a cornet like a flashlight.
That’s a great way to explain it! I’ll use that one!
I love that warm rounded cornet sound.
I am a bass player and found your video very informative. I finally know the diffrrence between a trumpet and a cornet

Which has two valves?
In composition, does the composer have to use two different trumpets/cornets for flat and sharp scales?
Does the corner require less air pressure to blow?
It’s really about the same.
Really good video.
Glad you enjoyed it; happy to create it for you!
This cornet is similar to trumpets. I saw a cornet with another construction. The play with it is in horizontal position.
Was it rotary valve? They are usually horizontal.
@@ChrisDavisTrumpet The buttons are similar to a French horn.

Good sh**! Thanks!
I played Coronet in jr high and still remember having to correct people especially my family they kept calling it my Trumpet
Putter versus driver
Sir I have no money buy trumpete if you have a old trumpete pls can i have one
Can you play the cornet if you have thin lips?
Certainly
If I had the money, I would buy a drum and bugle corps and equip it with 2-valve soprano bugles. No one can change my mind.
Now the real question: which is cheaper?
usually cornet but you'll find whatever it is that you seek.
The Cornet Sounds Softer, the Trumpet Sounds Sharp.
Best trumpet or cornet l don't English
Sorry
It depends on who is holding the instrument. 🙂
The musician...
Great answer.
IMHO it sounds a lot like a flugelhorn
Same family!
👍👍👍👍👍💛💙🙏
Budget C trumpet? Cornet mouthpiece in a trumpet?
There is no "Trump" in Cornet!🤣
