I hope this interests someone out there...

A friend and colleague asked me if it would be possible to put a Yamaha
Maestro leadpipe on his Sterling cornet (which felt tight and restricted).
Measurements revealed that it was an almost exact fit, so we went ahead and
ordered the part. I was very dubious about the possible outcome, but his
instincts were right! I have fitted it and he now has a spectacularly good
cornet. It has all the ease of my Maestro, but it produces a more focused
sound and is capable of more power and projection than the Yamaha. The
intonation is good and the sound remains dark, creamy and cornet-like at all
volumes.
I don't think I have played a better cornet and I don't want to give it
back!
Should we call it a "Steraha" or a "Yamling"?
I wonder how a "Sovaha" would turn out?
