​G2 cornetts in hand-lacquered crystal resin


Picture
Our ebony resin cornetts have been inspiring people across six decades and five continents to start playing and delve into a fabulous new soundworld. Technologies change of course, so that all our resin cornetts are now precision-moulded, high-spec, state of the art instruments, delivered ready to play. So why not order from our new range in colourful crystal resin. The one difference between these and any other Christopher Monk instrument – wood or resin – is their striking appearance. You can see and hear one in action in the video below.

​"A couple people were very adamant that the 3d printed cornetts were a good low cost option,
​and while they were light weight, I found the tone lacking when compared to your resin cornetts"
