A Pro-level Cornet Inspired by Legendary Custom Trumpets
Designed in collaboration with John Hagstrom, trumpet player for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Yamaha Custom cornet combines key features from the “Chicago” series Artist Model Trumpets with the rich, complex tone of the cornet. As such, it boasts a Chicago-style French bead bell and seam design, as well as a trumpet-sized shank that makes transitioning between trumpet and cornet a breeze. For the Custom cornet, Yamaha wraps these features up with a 1-piece, 4.87-inch yellow brass bell and a glimmering silver-plated finish, giving you brilliant, multidimensional sound and excellent dynamic control.
A cornet build with trumpet-style features
Seasoned brass players will find much to appreciate in the Custom cornet. To start, this standard-weight horn has a 0.459-inch medium-large bore and a trumpet-sized shank for a comfortable level of wind resistance. This makes transitioning between cornet and trumpet easier, as both horns encourage a similar embouchure and airflow. Then, there's the bell. Constructed from yellow brass, the Yamaha Custom cornet's 1-piece, 4.87-inch bell delivers outstanding projection, malleable sound, and captivating resonance.
First-valve thumb hook and third-valve slide ring facilitate fine-tuning adjustments
The Custom cornet is just as enjoyable to play as it is to gaze at. Horn players at Sweetwater appreciate that Yamaha gave the Custom cornet monel pistons, as they deliver an airtight seal, unmatched agility, and remarkable longevity. Meanwhile, an ergonomic first-valve thumb hook and a third-valve slide ring facilitate easy intonation adjustments. Plus, the third-valve slide ring is adjustable, meaning it can be positioned to fit nearly any hand size.
