Fazley ART-CN160-S ABS Silver Bb Cornet

General

The Fazley ART-Series cornet has been moulded from ABS to keep the weight as low as possible, making it more manageable for younger children, and much less sensitive to scratching, denting, and extreme temperatures than a standard brass cornet. Tuned in Bb - the most accessible and adaptable tuning - this cornet comes complete with an ABS mouthpiece and a soft-case.

The Fazley ART-CN160 Bb Cornet

While all the pipes and the bell are made of ABS, to ensure smooth, friction-free playability, the valves and valve housing have been made from metal since plastic tends to 'stick' as the instrument warms up, meaning that, after just a short period, the valves can become stiff and stop sliding completely, no matter how much valve oil is applied. Thankfully, this is not a problem with the Fazley ART-CN160 cornet, leaving nothing but a hard-wearing and affordable introductory instrument that weighs just 500 grams, has a 122mm diameter bell and a 11.7mm bore.

Tips or comments about this product

• Valve oil does not come included with this cornet. To ensure that the valves move smoothly, it is recommended to purchase a bottle of valve oil. Compatible valve oil can be found under the suggested accessories or in the package deals listed below.
• Tip: Loosen the valves a little if the instrument will not be played for a long period of time.
