In Reply to: RE: The Trumpet Has So Many Variants......... posted by Todd Krieger on November 14, 2014 at 17:54:19
True, there are a few trumpet models like the Conn 38B (Chet Baker, Freddie Hubbard, Tom Harrell, Maynard Ferguson etc) that is a trumpet very close to a cornet or the Conn flugel that Miles played on Miles Ahead and Charles Tolliver played a lot which was also rather close to a cornet.
Those are the exceptions though, most horns follow the above convention.

...but when I knew Brad Goode back in our Chicago days, he was playing a student-level cornet (Conn, I believe) that he had had cryogenically frozen. I couldn't believe it when he told me that. He laughed, and said nobody else can believe it either. One of the most bizarre instrument choices I've ever seen. He made it work for him, though.

Cryo-ing horns/equipment is a thing, just like in audio, not one I'm a party of...
Student Conn cornet as a primary horn, that is definitely wacky. I know a few very good players that play the Yamaha student flugel with success, and one of the most ubiquitous flugelhorns (Couesnon) was originally a student horn. Trumpet is different though, never really met anybody that seriously played a student horn, and cornet is just as odd. Interesting.
