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. Normally the wait is 12 months for this horn but the buyer backed out before completion and we have this horn in stock. WOW.
Here's a clip of Trent playing one just like this (but that one has a copper bell). The Red Brass bell is actually thicker and livelier than the copper T says.
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.
