Eclipse Bb-Cornet
Bb large-bore cornet · custom · current
Offered with two bells identical in design but different in material. The red brass gives the classic British brass band sound with a great core and very even response; the yellow brass plays the same but slightly brighter, and is the bell of choice for the Royal Marines and many British Army bands.
