OK.
My son = father or mother
My son's father = father
your = unknown person
father's only child = father (from above)
your father's only child = unknown person = father
father = father
relative of father = father = self

Who am I? Myself.
@trumpetb "...no trumpet really needs the third slide...". Uhhhhh... you might want to rephrase this.
I got a kick out of knowing that, even at age 92, she would enjoy off-roading in her Land Rover. And https://news.yahoo.com/queen-elizabeth-said-asked-ever-193842166.html is one of my favorite anecdotes.
I think we can all agree that the difference between trumpet and cornet is............................................ the spelling!
@richard-iii said in Difference between trumpet and cornet:
How about this? The cornet mouthpiece has a smaller hole at the end than a trumpet mouthpiece. Smaller hole means less air. Smaller hole means though conical after that they can be the same, the smaller hole always starts smaller and therefor the totality of the conical nature will always be greater.
It's my understanding that throat size is comparable between trumpet and cornet mouthpieces and that if bore measurement is taken the same distance from the rim, those diameters will be comparable, too. The difference is that more of what is considered to be the backbore of a trumpet mouthpiece is included in the leadpipe of a cornet.

@j-jericho
Trumpet- Cylindrical Bore
Cornet- Conical Bore
@ssmith1226 That's debatable, and it has been debated before. Just for fun, I invite anyone to measure the lengths of tapered sections compared to tubular sections, including the rate of taper (Thank you Dale Proctor!) on your own horns, and see what the results are. I've done this in the past, and while my examples were by no means exhaustive, I found no trend characterizing either bore description. Some of the trumpets I measured had a greater conical section than that of some of the cornets, and some of the cornets had a greater cylindrical section than some of the trumpets. I found no consistent ratio of conical/cylindrical lengths among the horns I measured.
My conclusion, as I deliberately put in as many words as I could in my post above for the sake of levity, is that the difference between trumpet and cornet is visual, not functional.
All right....
Other than the mouthpiece and receiver being shorter on a cornet than on a trumpet and the shank taper being smaller, too (although the cup, throat, backbore, and leadpipe taper are still essentially the same) a trumpet is longer than a cornet, which also has more crooks (unless it's a Conn Connstellation or an Olds Mendez, which look exactly like their trumpet counterparts), except for a pocket trumpet, which is much shorter than a cornet and has even more crooks (unless it's a pocket cornet, in which case there is no difference in appearance between the two [like the visual similarity between the Conn Connstellation and Olds Mendez mentioned above]), and as for timbre and projection, a trumpet and a cornet can both sound the same or different, depending upon the player, the mouthpiece, and the design and construction of the instrument.
Whew! There - the difference between trumpet and cornet in a (coconut) nutshell. Got it?
I think I posted https://trumpetboards.com/topic/1268/r-i-p-joey-defrancesco minutes before yours. Great minds think alike 
. Could the tune you remembered be the one I highlighted?

Another neat story about one of my favorite trumpet players.I have only ever got to meet and talk to 2 famous pro players: Louis Armstrong and Al Hirt. I wish Wynton had been number 3. There are so many questions I would ask him.

There are threads for which no new posts appear for sometimes many months at a time, but for which there is no more appropriate thread when someone adds a new post. It wouldn't make sense in these instances to start a new, identical thread when one already exists, especially when starting a new one would duplicate the title, cluttering things up, so to speak, and leave no previous context to which the new post is related. "YouTube Suggestion" https://trumpetboards.com/topic/588/youtube-suggestion is one example.
@administrator Did you get multiple leadpipes with it?
