Montreux Student Bb Cornet for Beginners with Lightweight Protective Carry Case, Mouthpiece - Lacquer Brass, 4.75 inch / 12 cm Bell, B Flat

Great little Bb cornet! I've wanted one since I was at school and learned to play brass....40 years later, I finally own one! My only geipe is the fact it could've come with some valve oil.... thankfully, I have this already as I play other Brass instruments. To a new player though, this may be an add to purchase as I did find the valves a little sticky, when first unwrapped!. Great instrument, plays well, lovely tone....and I love the rose brass bell.

I decided to have a go at learning to play the cornet and after reading many reviews, purchased this one. It all seems very well made, from the instrument itself to the case that comes with it. I don't know much about brass instruments but I play quite a few other instruments and I like to think that can tell poor quality from good quality. This certainly seems good quality for a student piece. I am extremely pleased with it.

The delivery of this trumpet was a big mess. This was intended as a Christmas present so I ordered it in November to avoid any mix ups. I do not live in the UK so I knew I needed at least a few weeks. Unfortunately my careful planning was not rewarded. I was contacted after three weeks and was told the trumpet was returned as undeliverable. Unfortunately it was not under the Christmas tree for my son and I was very disappointed. After reordering immediately with expedited delivery it arrived a week later. Delivery date December 27th.......The packaging was fine. The trumpet and case were as expected according to what I had read and seen on Amazon. It was in good shape and it looks nice. The case is well crafted with two shoulder straps, cloth, valve oil and soft gloves. My son tried it right away and the first and second valves stuck and he could not play well. We oiled the valves a bit and then they played fine. The sound is nice. He is pleased with it. Let me say that he is a beginner , as such, I am content with this trumpet. I will re post in a few months to let everyone know how the trumpet is faring with regular wear.

Great and well worth the money

What a beautiful instrument! I'm just a mere beginner on the trombone and decided to have a go on the cornet. I managed my first note yesterday and I'm thrilled at the quality of the sound of the instrument. Well done for such a reasonably priced instrument and thank you.

I have now been playing this cornet for a couple of days now and no matter how often I play or how much valve oil I use while playing the first and third valve stick during play and when you press them down it really is not smooth it actually sounds like there is a lot of grit or something in the chamber or the machining is not great and the valve is rubbing on the chamber very disappointed in this as i read the reviews before i bought and they were nearly all good not the trouble i have been having.

Bought this for my granddaughter. She was delighted with it.

I'm finding this product a little frustrating. First the description states that it will come with some valve oil, which it did not. After having ordered some valve oil I have found that no matter how much valve oil I put on the 1st and 3rd valves keep sticking making it hard to play and I'm a little disappointed
