A cornet of excellence, designed and developed without compromise. Developed with 3 of the brass band world's most successful cornet players and conductors, these highly expressive cornets bring new musical possibilities to both solo and band performances.
A cornet of excellence, designed and developed without compromise. Built upon the reputation of the Xeno cornet, the ‘Neo’ has an easier higher register and the combination of its heavy wall and gold-brass leadpipe produce a dark, rich tone.
The Neo cornet range provides a greater breadth of tone and expressive emotion in an enriched sound world. The use of gold brass for the lead-pipe, connection tube and main tuning slide give these new cornets a rich, flexible sound and excellent response in the higher register. Developed with 3 of the brass band world's most successful cornet players and conductors, these highly expressive cornets bring new musical possibilities to both solo and band performances.
Gold brass has been newly adopted to the part of the tube leading from the leadpipe to the valves, delivering the depth of sound and richness of tonal colour that is required for traditional brass bands.
The one-piece bell provides a wide palette of tonal colours and improved response.
This custom-designed single case features a better fit and provides more protection when transporting your Neo cornet.
