corneta

The cornet (/ˈkɔːrnɪt/, US: /kɔːrˈnɛt/) is a brass instrument similar to the trumpet but distinguished from it by its conical bore, more compact shape, and mellower tone quality. The most common cornet is a transposing instrument in B♭.

cone Translation of cornet – French–English dictionary cone [noun] a pointed holder for ice cream. an ice-cream cone.

cornet à pistons in British English (ˈkɔːnɪt ə ˈpɪstənz ) a three-valved brass instrument of the trumpet family. Written range: about two and a half octaves upwards from E below middle C. It is a transposing instrument in B flat or A.

A cornet's mouthpiece is no different from similar brass instruments. It's a small, funnel-shaped piece of metal that receives the air from the player to create sound. You put your lips to the mouthpiece, buzzing them and creating a seal on the metal.

Also known as: valved bugle. flügelhorn, brass musical instrument, the valved bugle used in European military bands.

A trumpet has a cylindrical bore, which results in a bright, piercing sound, while a cornet has a continuously conical bore, which provides a warmer sound. (Their larger-sized brass instrument cousin, the flugelhorn, offers an even softer tone due to its larger, rounder and even more conical bore.)

The Trumpet produces a very piercing, direct sound (think Fanfares) and the Cornet a warmer, softer, rounder sound (think Hovis Bread / Coronation street!)

The cornet has four 180 degree curves in its tubing whereas the trumpet has only two curves. The cornet also has a conical shaped bore (the main bit leading up to the bell where the sound comes out) whereas the trumpet has a cylindrical shaped bore.

This makes a huge difference to the type of sound that is produced. The Trumpet produces a very piercing, direct sound (think Fanfares) and the Cornet a warmer, softer, rounder sound (think Hovis Bread / Coronation street!)
