Brass comparison

Tried out the trumpet and the coronet side by side. Ayep -- an obvious difference in tone! Played the same notes, but the trumpet is clearer and brighter; the cornet, tubbier, more flubby.

Useful for when I'm recording: I can double the notes, to get a fuller range of sound. (In multi-track recording, ''doubling'' is a technique used to get a fuller sound: play the same series of notes, either with the same or different instrument.)

Despite the bung key, am pleased with my purchase. :)
