The name cornet was printed in English in the Morte d'Arthure, completed by Sir Thomas Mallory about 1470. [12] [38] The cornett in its current form was developed by about 1500, as an improvement over earlier designs of fingerhole horns. [12] [39] That was the path that led to the curved cornetts; another way led to the straight cornetts.
In music, the bore of a wind instrument (including woodwind and brass) is its interior chamber. This defines a flow path through which air travels, which is set into vibration to produce sounds. The shape of the bore has a strong influence on the instrument's timbre .

Cornets following the 1913 patent of E. A. Couturier can have a continuously conical bore. This shape is primarily responsible for the ...

It is considered a ...

The pitch of a brass instrument corresponds to the lowest playable resonance frequency of the open instrument. The combined resonances resemble a harmonic ...
