Modified cornetto

Filed under:Instruments — ulrikgaston @ 10:54 am

Wanting to get a different sound from my cornetto, an oboe playing friend of mine and I mounted a reed instead of the regular mouth piece on it. I wanted more of a crumhorn sound but ended up with something that sounded fantastic on every 20th try and otherwise was really hard to play. Lots of strange sounds coming as well. But I like the idea. Here are the photos. First the reed, then two full-length versions of my Moeck cornetto with the reed and finally the normal mouthpiece.

1. I am wanting to build my son a cornetto, he is a brass playaer and wants to play in a renaissance ensemble.

   I need dimensions, overall length, diameters (both ends), dimesnins to finger holes and diameters of those holes etc…
