A soprano Eb cornet produces a higher sound than a normal cornet (Bb), and so in order to play full musical range on a cornet, you might occasionally see cornet players swapping between a higher and regular instrument during a brass band performance. There are two types of cornet on offer, which both give different sounds. Whilst many people think the trumpet and cornet sound the same, they actually make quite different sounds. The next difference between the trumpet and the cornet is their sounds. In contrast, the cornet is a relatively modern instrument as it was invented around 1828 when musicians added valves to a post horn in an attempt to create a musical instrument which had a wider range and different sound to the trumpet. Therefore, the trumpet has a long history both military and ceremonial, as well as musical. Initially made from horn and used as a signal, it has developed over time into a more sophisticated metal version of a signal horn, and then with the introduction of valves, into a musical instrument. The trumpet is a musical instrument which has been around for centuries, perhaps even millennia. Probably the most significant difference between a trumpet and a cornet is their histories.

Take a cornet and a trumpet for example, people often think they are one and the same, when in reality there are a number of subtle differences between the two. If you don’t play a brass instrument or are not part of a band, you can be forgiven for getting a little confused over the different types of smaller instruments – especially as they can sometimes look very similar.
