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:
“I never saw youe madam laye aparte
Your cornet black, in colde nor yet in heate,
Sythe first ye knew of my desire so greate,
Which other fances chac’d cleane from my harte.”
—Henry Howard, Earl Of Surrey (1517?–1547)
