In wind ensembles, when scores by composers like John Philip Sousa and Alfred Reed include a cornet part in addition to the trumpet part, most bands used to substitute trumpets. However, recently, more bands are switching to cornet to play as the composer intended. The currently mainstream short cornet is for brass bands and is an instrument that takes on the woodwind parts. When Sousa and Reed's wind band scores have cornet parts, it is assumed that they are to be played on a long-type cornet. This instrument is a model that was in Yamaha's lineup during its partnership with the American company Schilke. Because it has a playing feel relatively close to a trumpet, it doesn't feel out of place for trumpet players to switch to it as indicated in the score. Currently, Yamaha's long cornet is not distributed domestically and is only for export to the United States. Yamaha's professional model long cornet was an M-bore type, not the currently mainstream L-bore, so it had a rather tight playing feel. This instrument is an L-bore instrument made of yellow brass, and it has been customized with specifications that meet the performance needs of advanced players. ★Customization Details ◉ 1st slide rebuilt to reverse ◉ Ring-type thumb hook installed on the 1st slide ◉ Movable finger ring on the 3rd slide replaced with a fixed-type finger ring ◉ Lyre (music holder) holder equipped on the 3rd slide ★Items for Sale ・Cornet body ・Mouthpiece (for long cornet) ・Hard case (for storage) ★Condition ・There is lacquer deterioration, dents, and dings due to age and use, but none that affect playing. ・Slides and valves have been ultrasonically cleaned and overhauled, including lapping (fitting) treatment. ★Atelier Custom (Instrument Toning) This is a workshop specializing in customizing trumpets and cornets that were in Yamaha's lineup during its partnership with Schilke.
