Millennium Brass Echo Cornet

This is one of the pieces from a NCAC Concert in Northport, Michigan. The piece is "Queen of Love" composed by John Philip Sousa. It was only published in a magazine (Home Companion) and arranged by John Laverty. The Echo Cornet is extremely rare and expensive. Enjoy. The Echo Cornet was played by Vince DiMarino.

Brilliant! Thank you.

[@dbadagna]

Very nice! How does the echo effect on this instrument work?

[@aidanknox2430]

I believe it has a valve that redirects the air to a muted bell.

[@dbadagna]

@@aidanknox2430 Thank you, I didn't see such a muted bell.

[@williamjones778]

@@dbadagna what looks like tubing under his left hand is actually a small opening of the muted bell.

[@dbadagna]

@@williamjones778 Thank you--is the bell actually facing his chest? Because what we see projecting out toward the audience looks to taper to about 1 cm in diameter.

[@williamjones778]

@@dbadagna no that opening that is very small is the direction it projects. The mute needs a small opening so that it actually quiets it down. Same as like an actual straight mute, it only allows a small amount of air out to dampen the sound.
