The body of this instrument creates an authentic sound comparable to that of a brass cornet meaning it can be easily used in ensembles as well as for individual performances. Aluminium Valves and Adjustable Slides The playLITE cornet gets its hybrid title from its great feeling fast action aluminium valves.
