      Took some new pics of this cool little cornet. Made from German silver, oval-port Allen valves.

      Note: If you click on the pictures, they are higher resolution.

          @Dale-Proctor Gorgeous horn! I can see the oval ports clearly in the last picture. What's the advantage? Does it blow differently compared to round ports? I've never seen this before. Just curious.

            Thanks! The oval ports allow the rotors to be a smaller diameter, which makes the valve action very fast. As far as I know, only a few makers used them in the 19th century, and they were found only on their top model instruments.
