The cornet is a brass instrument very similar to the
trumpet, distinguished by its conical bore, compact shape, and mellower tone
quality. The most common cornet is a transposing instrument in B♭. It is not
related to the medieval cornett or cornetto.
The cornet was originally derived from the post horn.
Sometimes it is called a cornopean, which refers to the earliest cornets with
the Stolzel valve system.
