Van Laar Short-Model
Bb large-bore cornet · professional · current
The Short (shepherd’s crook) model has a medium-sized bell that produces a typical brass-band sound. It has been developed for both brass-band players and soloists. Its huge projection will certainly be greatly appreciated by the latter. The cornet has outstanding intonation and flexibility with regard to the formation of the tone. Thanks to these attributes, the player can attain his very own, unique timbral conception. What is more, the sleek design ensures that the weight is well-balanced. As for the slotting, the notes engage well and can be quickly and easily found.
