Martin's cornet is easily the best cornet I have ever played! The MAW valves and ergonomic design make this horn a true work of playable art! The bell is beautifully rich and versatile! Here are a few low-fi samples of this horn.
The rich and romantic sound is typical for this cornet. It has a very easy response with a modern design. You can choose between a yellow- and a red brass bell depending on the sound you want to create. The yellow brass bell has a good focus – if you want to get a smoky warm sound with that sizzle, choose the red brass bell. You can use this cornet in an orchestra, as a solo instrument or in a brass band.
