The soprano cornet is a brass musical instrument. Very similar to the standard B♭ cornet, it too is a transposing instrument, but pitched higher, in E♭.
A single soprano cornet is usually seen in brass bands and silver bands and can often be found playing lead or descant parts in ensembles.
Famous quotes containing the word cornet:
“Sing unto the Lordwith the harp, with the harp, and the voice of a
psalm.
With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the Lord,”
—Bible: Hebrew Psalm XCVIII (l. XCVIII, 5–6)
