difference between trumpet and cornet
What is the difference between a cornet and a trumpet? The obvious difference is that the cornet looks shorter than a trumpet. Trumpets are roughly 19â long whereas cornets range from 13â to 16â long depending on whether they have long bells or shepherdâs crook bells.
A trumpet is larger than a cornet. the cornet also delivers a much higher pitch sound. and between the flugel and flugel horn i beleive that those are just two different ways to spell and say the name of the instrument. the difference between these instruments is simply the tone that they produce.
But the two instruments sound and feel very different. Even between cornets, the shepherds crook cornet sounds and feels quite different to the long bell cornet. People often describe the cornet as a member of the horn family, having a conical bore, and the trumpet as having a cylindrical bore. This is not correct.
