I dont know if they are available in the UK, but I have tryed one of
them.  I dont know the model number, but it was the cheapest of their
cornet models, and I think it was too expensive according to the sound
and quality.  I was "easy" to play, and gave no/very litle resictance
when playing nd blowing into it.  I think it maybe is a good instrument
for beginners/intermedians, but is to light to more advanced playing.  I
think the sound "braks"/get sparkling(ugly)  very easy, so for the price
in Norway (about NKR 9000,- (=GBP 850,-)) there are many instruments
that are much better and suitable for the purpose.( eks. B&H 700 series)
I have not tried the upper models, so I can not tell you anything about
them.
