Hello there, I'm a complete begginer and just bought this cornet as of 10/2021. They seem to actually have listened to you, Trent! They removed the ugly growth under the slider ring and improved drastically the de-burring of the valves. I was getting ready to do the job only to find out that it was perfectly done! I was also going to give it a thorough wash, but noticed that the valves and sliders where actually pretty clean, no black goop nor metallic residue anywhere to be found. This cornet is a bloody unicorn for it's price. Cheers!
I got a King 603 cornet from eBay last year for $175. There are hardly any dents/scratches on it. I used it to play solo cornet on Procession of the Nobles last year with my high school concert band and let me just say that was the luckiest purchase I’ve ever made online.
Hey Trent, There are some very weird instrument that I have seen when I were in Germany. It is called Schalmey (the new version), and has three valves that control many bells.
I am surprised at the improvement of the quality of discounted Chinese made trumpet and cornet for the last 1-2 years. However, they are due to specific factory products. For example, Stomvi's body is also made in China. However, it is sad that there is a case that the instrument is broken if it is a direct delivery from China. Hahaha…
Trent you can file the nob under the ring down, so it doesn't kept by the stopper, and hold it than with a rubber loop, so it doesn't fall of, simple but functional
I just bought a cornet off of ebay for $50 CAD (I was the only bidder and I bid the minimum amount). The listing said the instrument had been looked at by a repair man and it was working. Also nice Hogwarts march.
My thing with super cheap instruments like this, is that the used market is just so much better. I bought a 50s(ish) getzen tone balanced super deluxe cornet for less than that, and it’s a quality instrument, sounds great, plays great, absolutely zero complaints for my first brass instrument (woodwinds for many years).
My friend has a 70's Olds Ambassador with it. My 50's Ambassador has a much weirder situation: there is a mount for a finger ring--on the SLEEVE, where it can't push the slide out at all! My friend insists it's a lyre holder, but it looks nothing like the lyre holders I've seen, and everything like a finger ring holder. And indeed when I first inherited the cornet fifteen years ago I think it even had a cheap finger ring mounted in it.
Hi Trent, i just bought this cornet in silver colour and haven't played one in 35yrs since high school (this one time at band camp I stuck a cornet in my......cornet case ;) ) can you please do a video on how you do a full clean, de burr the slides, remove the tumour or anything you'd suggest before playing it? thanks in advance
The bump on the slide key is not unprecedented. The Olds Ambassador cornet had one too. I've had 2 of those horns, one from 1956 and one from 1972. They both had the bump. It's exactly for what you said it is for. The reason they put it there is because the horns i had were student horns, as i suspect the horn you're showing today is purposed for, given the price.
It would be nice to see you reviewing Carol Brass trumpets(say, a 5000 model, the most common one). I have heard good things about them and I haven't found a decent review still. Those are rather inexpensive here in Europe, I wonder how it is in NZ.
As you love to do reviews, have you ever heard about the LefreQue plaques that are supposed to improve the ease on playing wind instruments. It would be nice to see if it also make the difference on a chip instrument.
Hello! I have The same Rotary cornet with vertical buttons like The one farthest down on The Wall behind you to the left in the vid. Mine is russian made and actually sound quite Nice! I have not stumbled upon another one until now...
Hey Trent, for Christmas I’m probably gonna get a trumpet, could send a link for the intro music you played, but if you can’t, send a link for the same music but for the bari sax
Could you do a video on the Trumbone? It is an instrument I've only just come across when looking for piccolo and sopranino trombones on that well known online auction site, and seems interesting.
You say perfect for a child, but what about an adult, such as I, who has never handled never mind played a brass instrument, and who doesn't have a lot of money. There are fairly cheap priced Gear4Music instruments on their website, but I'm not sure who makes them for them.
It kind of works, but sounds pretty thin and icky. You need one with a really long taper since alto bone is small tenor shank. A wide and shallow baroque trumpet mouthpiece sounds pretty good, if you don't mind your mouthpiece costing more than your horn. Seems like most players are looking for the exact opposite of "bright and heroic" sound on the alto, though.
@Trent Hamilton, I am an intermediate trumpet player looking for a cornet to buy as well. Since as you mention this horn is recommended to beginners, is this cornet good enough for a semi-professional band?
of all the cheap horns you have reviewed this one has a place. however mid 60s conn directors and olds ambassadors in good condition are plentiful . i prefer the olds special but finding one for under $400 in good condition will be hard to find.. the conn directors are better built horns than the ambassadors . they are just not as popular so the prices are cheaper.
can you send me a soprano trombone? i can play BBb alto, BBb tenor and BBb bass and BBb/FF contrabass and i most commonly play a 4 keyed BBb tuba, but i want a soprano trombone (in Bb_
This cornet sounded surprisingly bright, almost trumpet-like. I thought cornets in general have a somewhat darker, more mellow sound than what I heard in the video.
Now find an absolutely unusable instrument for over $3000.
That's easy. It's called an oboe.
@@Phunkophil oboe = bagpipe, but bagpipe sounds better
Army Poser babagpipe = slide whistle but slide whistle sounds better than all instruments ever, so yeah
@@peanut632 sure
@@Phunkophil Lmao I almost just spit out my drink when I saw that, it's so true🤣
The intro is the Hogwart's March

Procession is a hella fun song. Those nice solo parts are very satisfying
That intro was amazing. Your pure talent!
i have the same cornet except i got the one thats all nickel plated for a few dollars more. the valves work great and go a long time between oiling.

I bought one a while back that I need to fix before I video it.

Junk review, no demo
@@jaywallker4552 I think the trio at the start was played on it. Certainly looked like the same instrument
Great to see another video from you. Fun review and tune. Peace and health man.

I do like the visual editing where you showed the lump very clearly.
Let's be honest, you can make anything sound good.

Happy Christmas, Harry
the bump on the third valve ring is also on the conn 20a's, not sure about the other ones thought
My Olds cornet has that lump on the tuning slide ring too.
My friend has a 70's Olds Ambassador with it.

I bought my daughter a very good cornet for $120. An almost new Yamaha that was sold on Facebook.
I also like the one in the intro, I have searched and searched for nice horn music like these tunes, please let me know the names of this piece also
I learnt for 2 and a 1/2 years and did my grade 3 and 4 on one of rhese!
No playing sample of the horn??

lol, I just rehearsed "Hogwarts' March" (trombone voice) for a wedding and then your vid came up. :D
all the bands in Norway starts with a cornet like that
I have kind of the same case here but it’s with a usable 1000$ f trigger trombone
I like the horn piece at the end of this video, what is it, are there 2 horns playing, which two horns if so ? Is there a link to this piece, thanks
th-cam.com/video/NLY8swoaU0s/w-d-xo.html It's a trombone duet.

I take an Ambassador with me wherever I go! Don't leave home without it!

Donde compra esto?
Yay Hogwarts March!!! I recognized it immediately when I heard the intro
Can you compare this with a similar priced used cornet? What is the differences and what do you prefer.
Hello! I have The same Rotary cornet with vertical buttons like The one farthest down on The Wall behind you to the left in the vid. Mine is russian made and actually sound quite Nice! I have not stumbled upon another one until now...
Trent is the Harry Potter music from Nathan’s channel?
Hey Trent, for Christmas I’m probably gonna get a trumpet, could send a link for the intro music you played, but if you can’t, send a link for the same music but for the bari sax
Is it metal or plastic
I Love that Intro!!!
Could you do a video on the Trumbone? It is an instrument I've only just come across when looking for piccolo and sopranino trombones on that well known online auction site, and seems interesting.
I am starting to play trumpet and do you have any tips
my friend found a fully working trombone for 70 bucks😂

Can you play an alto trombone with a trumpet mouth piece and get any musical value with it?
It kind of works, but sounds pretty thin and icky. You need one with a really long taper since alto bone is small tenor shank. A wide and shallow baroque trumpet mouthpiece sounds pretty good, if you don't mind your mouthpiece costing more than your horn. Seems like most players are looking for the exact opposite of "bright and heroic" sound on the alto, though.
What many instruments do you have?
You should review the pocket trumpet by eastar on amazon
Its only about $140 and i own it and i think it is worth a try
I mean you can buy a Besson new standard for £300
@Trent Hamilton, I am an intermediate trumpet player looking for a cornet to buy as well. Since as you mention this horn is recommended to beginners, is this cornet good enough for a semi-professional band?
I wouldn’t use it as a long term instrument in a semi-professional band.
Soundsation cornet? Anyone try them?
What was the beginning piece? It sounds cool
It's that song that they play when they enter the maze in Harry Potter
The Hogwarts March

“Plastic instruments are more durable.” Huh? More durable than metallic instruments? Very surprised to hear that.
This cornet sounded surprisingly bright, almost trumpet-like. I thought cornets in general have a somewhat darker, more mellow sound than what I heard in the video.
Ok - Are you hands just massive or is that instrument just very tiny?
Both
What a display

Instead buy a used Olds Ambassador for about the same cost a have a real cornet!
