@bigdub Well, being located in Japan does give it at least $300.00 extra value, don'tcha think? BTW - There's another one from Japan for $668.00 + $40.00 shipping. Bargains galore!

RE: Trumpet/Cornet Lyre
My 1919 York Perfec-Tone cornet has a vertical lyre holder that would probably hold yours, and I suspect that such a thing was not uncommon during that era.

@dr-go Trading message for massage would provide improved benefits overall. True, you need to get the message about the massage first; otherwise the message gets lost, and you miss the massage.

RE: Question?
@ssmith1226 However, it is not clear whether the use of "your" is collective, so the question could be rhetorical.

RE: Question?
@trumpetb Also agreed. In this case the possessive is not used, so the degree of absurdity of the question is lessened, but by no means eliminated.

RE: Question?
It would help if "your" and "yours" were more clearly defined. Is "your" individual or collective?

RE: Question?
OK.
My son = father or mother
My son's father = father
your = unknown person

RE: Difference between trumpet and cornet
@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.
