The Cornetto Podcast Episode 1

Videos on playing the cornetto

[wkruit]

The combination of the cornetto and the beautiful Compenius organ (a gem in it's own right) is quite stunning! Thanks a million for uploading!

[thoroughbass]

Three masterpieces by musical instrument makers and three players, who demonstrate them to perfection ! Bravo ! A breathtaking listening experience !

[notthatguy]

Distinctly beautiful in both sound and appearance. Thanks for sharing. I played the trumpet for about a decade and enjoyed it immensely.

[hugojandro]

What a beautiful instrument, and performance too!

[miguelginertorres]

Thanks for the video Lene!! Regards from a Secundary School classroom from Spain... love you

[JackoGreen]

What made you want to start playing cornetto?
Did you start as a trumpeter?

[inigoaramburuarnaiz]

Amazing video, is the music piece some Canaries dance? i would like to know

[paulcaswell]

The 1610 Compenius is the perfect foil for the Cornetto. I just wish there was no chit-chat and would just allow us to listen to the music.

[ManuelDelgadodelaRosa]

Bellísimo instrumento y espléndidos instrumentistas... Bellísima música...

[JTait-vmcl]

Is the mouthpiece smaller than a french horn mouthpiece?

[johnroccaro]

Great series! I would like to hear the entire performance of this piece! What is it's title and composer and is this particular performance available?

[andbarton]

I have played saxophone for 40 years, and unusually, also trumpet. I always found the trumpet to be hard going on my lips and my endurance playing the trumpet have always been pretty short because of the discomfort, due to using excessive pressure against my lips, something I've never really solved. From the look of it, you use very little force with the mouthpiece against your lips.

Beautiful video. The only defect is that it was too short! :) BTW, a question: there are both curved and straight cornetti. Is there any difference in sound between the two? Is one design more suitable for beginners than the other? Thanks!

[bernardojim]

Wonderful. I wish i could study cornetto in Spain

[Iceland]

Its a lovely instrument. Maybe I should get something similar instead of another oboe.

[getsemanesilva]

what is the name of the composer of this ciacccona? thanks

[stansmith]

It sounds so much like a piccolo trumpet.

[filippotramontana]

Is the mouthpiece more similar to a French horn one or a trumpet?

[evie]

hello music class students, if you're looking for what the mouthpiece is made of, it's bone or ivory :)

[elimaurer]

You sound freaking great btw! Your sound is unreal - like the trumpet sounds described in ancient text. Do you know where in NYC I can try a Cornetto? Also, how different in quality are affordable ones versus expensive instruments?
