Soprano Cornet
SOPRANO CORNET: THE HIDDEN GEM OF THE TRUMPET FAMILY by YANBIN CHEN (Under the Direction of Brandon Craswell) ABSTRACT The E-flat soprano cornet has served an indispensable role in the British brass band; it is commonly considered to be “the hottest seat in the band.”1 Compared to its popularity in Britain and Europe, the soprano cornet is not as familiar to players in North America or other parts of world. This document aims to offer young players who are interested in playing the soprano cornet in a brass band a more complete view of the instrument through the research of its historical roots, its artistic role in the brass band, important solo repertoire, famous players, approach to the instrument, and equipment choices. The existing written material regarding the soprano cornet is relatively limited in comparison to other instruments in the trumpet family. Research for this document largely relies on established online resources, as well as journals, books about the history of the brass band, and questionnaires completed by famous soprano cornet players, prestigious brass band conductors, and composers. 1 Joseph Parisi, Personal Communication, Email with Yanbin Chen, April 15, 2019. In light of the increased interest in the brass band in North America, especially at the collegiate level, I hope this project will encourage more players to appreciate and experience this hidden gem of the trumpet family.

Characterization And' Taxonomy Acoustical Standpoint
Characterization and' Taxonomy of Historic Brass Musical Instruments from ae Acoustical Standpoint Arnold Myers Ph.D. The University of Edinburgh 1998 I" V *\- Abstract The conceptual bases of existing classification schemes for brasswind are examined. The requirements of a taxonomy relating to the character of brass musical instruments as experienced by players and listeners are discussed. Various directly and indirectly measurable physical parameters are defined. The utility of these parameters in classification is assessed in a number of case studies on instruments in museums and collections. The evolution of instrument design since 1750 in terms of these characterization criteria is outlined. Declaration I declare that this thesis has been composed by me and that the work is my own. ? r % *} Acknowledgements I have been encouraged and helped by many in my investigations. My supervisors, D. Murray Campbell in the Department of Physics and Astronomy Christopher D.S. Field, and John Kitchen in the Faculty of Music have provided wise guidance whenever needed. Raymond Parks, Research Fellow in Fluid Dynamics, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Edinburgh, has given unfailing support, and has been responsible for much of the measuring equipment I have used. David Sharp has used the pulse reflectornetry techniques developed in the course of his own research to obtain bore reconstructions of numerous specimens for me. Herbert Heyde kindly discussed the measurement of historic brass instruments with me. Stewart Benzie has carried out instrument repairs for me and made the crook described in Chapter 5. I am grateful to the curators of many museums for allowing me access to the historic instruments in their care. -
Mouthpiece Catalog
14 A CUP DIAMETER RIM CONTOUR CUP VOLUME 4 a BACKBORE Model mm inches Description A small cup diameter with shallow “A” cup 5A4 15.84 .624 and semi-flat rim offers comfort and resistance in the upper register. A shallow “A” cup with cushion #4 rim for 6A4a 15.99 .630 extreme high register work. Excellent for the player with thin lips. A #4 rim 7B4 16.08 .633 provides good endurance with a brilliant tone. The slightly funnel-shaped cup at the entrance 8A4 16.25 .640 to the throat provides a good tone and the #4 semi-flat rim gives superior endurance. The deep funnel-shaped cup provides 8E2 16.15 .636 a smooth tone and is very flexible in all registers. Recommended for cornet players. Standard characteristics allow for a full 9 16.33 .643 penetrating tone quality. Like the 9, however the #4 semi-flat rim 9C4 16.36 .644 provides excellent endurance. The combination of the shallow “A” cup, semi- 10A4a 16.43 .647 flat #4 rim and tight “a” backbore assists with upper register work. Same as the 10A4a but with a standard “c” 10A4 16.43 .647 backbore, which offers less resistance. A medium-small funnel-shaped “B” cup offers 10B4 16.43 .647 both a quality sound and support in the upper register. This rim size and contour is similar to the 11 11A 16.51 .650 but with a shallower “A” cup. This model was developed for the Schilke piccolo trumpets. The “x” backbore improves the 11Ax 16.51 .650 ease of playing and opens up the sound on the piccolo. -
