Hi!
I'm inviting also non americans to give their opinions on my topics. I'm considering to buy a Bb Cornet if it's the better.
1.)Is it difficult or do you know if it's really tiring to use both Medium-large bore
Bb cornet and trumpet than the medium bores only??

2.) Or do you know if it's the med-larg cornet which is better, because of its design or for some reasons, needs same air volume like the medium bore only??
Please consider these:
-----I'm inviting also non Americans to join because I wantto consider as factor to choose, the shorter smaller body sizes of non americans living outside the U.S. I want to know from them if its true that they feel that medium-large bore cornt/trmpt needs more air and affecting endurance. Most of them are using only the standard medium ones.
pls. reply thanks.

It's impossible for another player/teacher to say whether one bore size is "difficult" for you or not.

THe best thing to do is go to a shop, try out a variety of instruments (without looking at what the stamp is showing bore size) and pick the one that works best for you.

Good luck!

I agree with JonGorie. And also you need to know this - - - bore size is different from taper. You could have a medium bore instrument with a large taper that takes a lot more air volume than a large bore instrument with a medium taper.

There are so many different bores and tapers you need to just play everything you can get your hands on. I have a small notebook with excerpts or solos and pieces I have played over the years. When i come upon an instrument I haven't played I can 'audition' the instrument and take some notes of what I like and don't like about it. After several years of playing anything you can get a hold of you'll have a good idea of what you like and what you feel comfortable playing.

Exactly. Taper, especially in the leadpipe, can have a huge effect on the feel or 'blow' of a trumpet, or any brass instrument.
