I recently picked up a King Tempo cornet at a flea market. It was like new except that the main tuning slide was stuck. After freeing the slide I started playing it a bit. I am amazed at the performance of this little horn. The tone can be as dark as midnight if a deep cup mouthpiece is used. Conversely, it can become a brazen hussy if I stuff a shallow bowl cupped mouthpiece into the receiver. In every way, this thing is excellent. For a cheapie horn I am not only impressed, but, very pleased with my $10.00 purchase. The lacquer finish even looks good and, no dents or major scratches.

Just what do you think she had to say about "another damned horn"? She is crowding me to sell a bunch of them. I am going to have to find out how to put photos onto the ebay.
