Used Yamaha E♭ Cornet (Soprano Cornet) YCR-6610T. I checked the Yamaha website, but the current models with a 6 in the model number are only B♭ cornets, so this is likely a professional model. (I say "likely" because I couldn't find it on the website.) The previous owner, whether they did it themselves or had it done cheaply, seems to have removed and reattached the tubing from the mouthpiece receiver to the 3rd valve slide, as well as the underside of the 2nd valve slide. The solder is obviously overflowing, and there are traces of stickers used to prevent solder from sticking. While it doesn't affect playability, it's noticeable even to someone who isn't a repairman. The slight issue is that when the underside of the 2nd valve slide was soldered, the slide adjustment wasn't done, so it pulls out but is quite stiff. Because the soldering is amateurish, it might come loose again, so I recommend having it adjusted first if you purchase it. Each slide and piston, aside from the aforementioned issue with the 2nd valve slide, moves very smoothly. There are no dents, but there are scratches from polishing overall. The good points of this model are that it's (probably) a professional model at an affordable price, the 3rd valve trigger is the same lever type as the current Xeno B♭ cornet, making it easy to operate, and the gentle curve from the mouthpiece receiver to the 3rd valve slide gives it a high-end model feel. I've attached cork to the lever to prevent it from hitting the body. The current YCR-8620S has a list price of 440,000 yen, and if you were to go for a Besson, the Sovereign has a list price of 689,700 yen, which is expensive, and finding a used E♭ cornet in the first place is difficult. For those looking for an E♭ cornet in a British-style brass band, how about this opportunity? I don't know if it's used in orchestras, but it's also recommended for those who only use it occasionally but don't want a cheap model! A double case for a professional trumpet model is included. (I don't know if this is the original case.) Shipping is included, and it will be shipped via Kuroneko Yamato. Thank you.
