My favorite cornet for noodling at home is a 1906/13 Boosey, 2 serial Nos, 06 valve block, 13 bell. Such a sweet sound but would be lost in a modern band.
If I ever had to play in a Brass Band (heaven forbid) I have a modern Besson Soverign, a much more powerful and brighter instrument.

Both daughters now married with children. Too late!

Such a shame he died at 28.

I have one that will, you cannot have it because I need it myself.
Regards, Stuart.
I will be 81 at the end of this month, I feel young compared to a flute player in our Orchestra who is 90 and a visitor to the Big Band a couple of weeks ago, a Clarinet and saxophone player still blowing at 98.
Regards, Stuart.
