Description
A medium bore intermediate cornet with a 3rd valve trigger, stainless steel valves and designed to bring back memories of the good old Boosey and Hawkes ‘Imperial’.
If you are looking for your first ‘proper’ cornet,one that will last a number of years and help you progress through the sections this is for you; Hanson cornets feel ‘right’ when you hold them – not too narrow in the body and around the valves.
The third valve trigger makes it easy to adjust the low D and C# whilst playing and is a great help in your playing development.
Stainless steel valve pistons complete what is a superb package – they won’t wear and deteriorate like monel valves and the plating won’t wear off like some lesser quality nickel plated valves.
Finished in a quality gold lacquer so it’s easy to look after with minimal cleaning needed.
- 11.7mm bore.
- Stainless steel valves.
- Solid nickel silver inner slides.
- 3rd valve tuning slide trigger.
- Finished in bright and easy to clean epoxy baked lacquer.
