I thought the basic difference between a cornet and a trumpet was that one
had tapered
tubing and the other has parallel tubing. Put a cornet mpc into a trumpet
with the use of
an adapter shank and you will get a very different sound from the cornet.
Very effective
if the bod behind the horn can control the tonal shades.

If you want to hear how the bod behind the horn controls the timbre of a
Fugel Horn - have a listen
to any Clarke Terry CD.
