[Tradjazz] Cornet V/S Trumpet

[Roy Ellis]

Hi Everyone,

After reading all the answers to your query, I think I know the answer as to 
the difference between the cornet and a trumpet, but I must say it got a 
little hard to remember everyone's opinion.  I do know though, that when I 
hear Bix, Bobby Hackett and Wild Bill play the cornet, I much prefer it to 
the trumpet. I'm sure I am one of the few OKOMS that doesn't particularly 
like Louis Armstrong.  After saying that, I expect to be drummed out of the 
club as he is idolized by so many fans, but have mercy on me.

Roy E.
