Cornet

A cornet is a brass musical instrument similar to the trumpet but typically smaller with a more mellow, warm tone. It has three valves that change the pitch, allowing musicians to play a wide range of notes. Used primarily in brass bands, jazz, and classical music, the cornet's compact size and rich sound make it versatile. It is often considered a good starting instrument for beginners due to its manageable size and ease of producing a full sound, yet it is capable of expressive and complex playing at advanced levels.
