I have two of the band's Sovereign cornets.  One is probably about 15 years' 
old, plays very well, and is the one I use.  The other is perhaps four or five 
years' old, and is horrible to play, mostly on account of poor intonnation and 
dead feel/tone.  I know a couple of others who feel exactly the same;  maybe 
they went through a bad patch?
