Product Overview
The JCR700UA features a lacquered brass body produced using advanced manufacturing technology to ensure the most accurate scale and playability in the student cornet category. The brass construction provides warm, mellow tone with excellent blend characteristics ideal for concert band, brass band, and ensemble performance. The clear lacquer finish protects the brass from oxidation while maintaining a classic, professional appearance that encourages pride in ownership and consistent practice engagement.
The 4.7" bell is carefully proportioned for the cornet's characteristic warm, rounded tone that differs from the brighter sound of trumpets. Combined with the medium-large .460" bore and shepherd's crook leadpipe configuration, this design creates comfortable resistance and focused sound production that helps beginning students develop proper breath support and embouchure technique. The shepherd's crook design is the traditional cornet leadpipe style, providing the authentic playing experience valued in brass band traditions.
The hand-fitted, dual-lapped stainless steel piston valves provide exceptionally fast action and quiet operation that supports developing technical facility. This precision valve work ensures consistent response and accurate alignment, while the stainless steel construction offers superior durability and corrosion resistance compared to standard brass pistons. The first valve slide thumb saddle enables quick tuning adjustments and smooth technical execution as students advance through their method books.
