This is the complete instrument for the professional musician

I have played a Wedgwood Cornet for the past fifteen years. I was looking for a cornet which would give me the flexibility to play both in the Symphony Orchestra, and also as a soloist playing traditional repertoire. The 'Wedgwood' certainly gave me what I was looking for. I used it constantly during my time as Principal at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, playing the Tchaikovsky ballets and found it did not 'close up' in the higher dynamic range. It will take everything you have, and more.
I really appreciate the fullness of tone over the whole range and also the fact that it is one of the very few instruments I have played in twenty-five years as a professional musician, which is in tune and agrees shop with itself. I have great pleasure in unreservedly endorsing this cornet. P.S. I did pay for this instrument. Wedgwood is far too mean to give anything away.

The spirit of Bix Beiderbeck still keeps me waiting, but nevertheless I have a lot of fun with your excellent cornet.

I have been playing a Wedgwood Bb Trumpet for nearly four years now, which should have given me plenty of time to sort out the idiosyncrasies of the instrument, except that I have been unable to find any. The Wedgwood Bb trumpet is made to the exceptionally high standard that one has come to associate with this master craftsman.
