Historic Cornets

Image
Historic instruments are finding their way to our shop.  These types of cornets are usually called cornopeans dating approximately 1870 to 1910 This historic brass instrument found to have had previous repair attempts proved unsuccessful.  Clean up, dent repair, carefully dismount part by part. Frozen slides reconstructed, reshape, rebuild.  Reset valve casing, construct Leadpipe extension. Valve refitting will be required due to age and previous repairs.  Antique Brush finish, body alignment, rebuilt frozen slides. Instrument now playable, enjoyable project.
