Known for its warm, round tone, the cornet is a staple of brass bands and concert works. Its flexibility makes it equally suited for solos, ensemble parts, and jazz improvisation. With a mellower sound than the trumpet, it excels in lyrical solos brimming with rich harmonics. Whether you’re channeling your inner Bix Beiderbecke or exploring new creative possibilities for the cornet in your projects, the pure, dry recordings from our Silent Stage are sure to inspire.

Due to its wide conical bore, the cornet (French: cornet à pistons) is classified as a horn instrument, even though it looks more like a trumpet. The first cornet was built around 1828 by Louis Antoine Halary in France and initially served a historical role in military and marching bands. Later, the instrument found its way into symphony orchestras of the Romantic period, sometimes replacing the trumpet in certain compositions.
