Other than that the instrument is in good condition.<\/p>\n<p>The <b>cornett<\/b>, <b>cornetto<\/b>, or <b>zink<\/b> is an early wind instrument that dates from the Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque periods, popular from 1500 to 1650.<sup id=\"cite_ref-2\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup><\/p>\n<p>It was used in a variety of musical forms, including performances by professional musicians, state music and liturgical music. It accompanied choral music. It also featured in popular music in what are now called alta capellas or loud wind ensembles.The cornett was characterized as &#8220;loud as a trumpet and soft as a recorder. It was popular in Germany, where guild laws made it illegal for residents to play trumpets. <sup id=\"cite_ref-Marcuse_5-0\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup>As well, the mute cornett variant was a quiet instrument, playing &#8220;gentle, soft and sweet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The instrument has features of both the trumpet and the flute. Like the trumpet, the cornett has a mouthpiece or cup, where the instrument is sounded with the player&#8217;s lips. Like the flute, it has fingerholes and sometimes keys to determine pitch; pitch can also be changed on low notes by the tension of the player&#8217;s lips. The cornett was built in two styles, straight and curved. It was also built in a variety of sizes from highest <i>cornettino<\/i> downward through alto cornett, <i>cornone<\/i> tenor cornett, and bass cornett. It is not to be confused with the modern cornet. The spelling <i>cornet<\/i> which had applied to the instrument in this article since about 1400 A.D. was transferred to a brass-tubed trumpet in the early 20th century, and <i>cornett<\/i> became the modern spelling of this instrument. <sup id=\"cite_ref-Marcuse_5-3\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup>The most common is the <i>curved cornett<\/i>, also called <i>treble cornett<\/i> or <i>alto cornett<\/i>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Tenor Cornett was made by Christopher Monk from black resin and is in good condition.
