DILLON MUSIC'S Bb CORNET https://www.dillonmusic.com/dillon-mu... CURRY VINTAGE CORNET MOUTHPIECES https://mouthpieceexpress.com/catalog... **Finding the right mouthpiece for each player can depend on many variables including mouth size/shape. Younger players will likely do best with a 7VC or 5VC. Older players may prefer a 3VC or 1.5VC. Just like you'd want to try on a pair of shoes before buying them, it can be helpful to shop at music stores that allow you to "try before you buy." ** HEAR PAUL PLAY THE ENTIRE CORNET SOLO The music played by Paul at 6:20 is a melodic excerpt from 'My Rainbow Girl' by Louis A. Hirsh. You can hear Paul play the full melody as a cornet soloist with the Paragon Ragtime Orchestra which he recorded using a vintage Conn New Wonder Cornet (circa 1918). This track features the melody of the cornet in all its glory!    • My Rainbow Girl & The Alimony Blues   MORE QUESTIONS?
