Thomann CR-960GP Superior Cornet
I purchased the Cornet for my Wife who plays for a 1st Section British Brass Band in Yorkshire, United Kingdom.
The Cornet looks really good with the silver and lacquer finishing. In the normal Brass Band range the Cornet is open and free blowing. The 1st & 3rd triggers work well and allow sufficient tuning adjustment.
The piston valves on first use were sluggish, and difficult to use. We are fortunate to have an Instrument Repair Technician in our band and he was able to work on the valves, lapping them, and freeing them up. In addition there are some areas that are still sharp and not been addressed in the final QC checks.
The above problems were minor and easily remedied, and the resulting Cornet was very good and played very well, for the price.
My Wife is very happy with her Cornet, and it draws attention wherever she goes to play, at various Concerts, Contests, and other engagements.
We highly recommend this Instrument. Well done Thomman.
