Perfect Beginners Instrument

Perfect for musicians starting the cornet, the Prelude by Bach will comfortably take you up to a grade five standard. It boasts great intonation with a fantastic sound without a large price tag. Ideal for brass bands or orchestras, the CR710 is perfectly suited for any brass ensemble. On the first and third valve slides are finger rings to ensure a comfortable grip when performing. These rings also enable the slides to move, so tuning can always be corrected when needed.

The body of the cornet is constructed from quality yellow brass. The majority of brass instruments are manufactured using yellow brass thanks to the versatile tonal qualities that it can produce. Once the cornet has been made, it is finished in a bright clear lacquer to keep it looking newer for longer.

Durable Construction

The Bach CR710 cornet comes with a rose brass leadpipe, which generates a warm and mellow sounding tone. Thanks to the anti-corrosion properties of rose brass, you are less likely to get your mouthpiece stuck in a rose brass leadpipe compared to a yellow brass leadpipe.

The stainless steel pistons are durable and create a smooth and fast action - suitable for faster passages of music. These steel pistons are nickel plated for an even smoother action. Valves are often plated with nickel as it is less likely to corrode with the yellow brass valve block.

Included Accessories

Included with the Prelude cornet is lightweight carrying case. This case offers tough protection for your cornet to ensure it stays in the best possible condition. The case also includes a padded shoulder strap for easy transportation between musical events. To ensure you get the best possible start at the cornet, the Prelude CR710 includes Bach's most versatile mouthpiece - the Bach 7C. Played by students and professionals alike, the Bach 7C is one of the most popular mouthpieces due to the even response and flexible range that it has to offer.

Reviews

"The Bach Prelude Trumpet and Cornet has to be one of the best buys of the year! The instruments are well-made, feel like a Bach, and play incredibly well given the price. Intonation is very good and a case and mouthpiece are included in the price! Most of my students at the RCM placed them in the £800 bracket so it's a great starter instrument and probably beyond."Paul Archibald, Professor of Trumpet at the Royal College of Music
