SchilkeA2C Custom Series C Cornet Silver plated
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Designed as a C cornet for orchestral and chamber settings, the Schilke A2C pairs a .460-inch medium-large bore with a 5-inch, #2-taper yellow-brass bell. That combination brings slightly more resistance, while the Shepherd’s Crook is part of the design behind its flexibility and range of sound colors. It has three Monel piston valves, a first-slide thumb saddle, and a fixed third-slide ring. The silver-plated model includes both a mouthpiece and case.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Orchestra or chamber work that calls for the A2C’s intonation, flexibility, and changing sound colors.
