The newest project I'm about to tackle is crafting a replacement echo bell for this cornet. The cornet is in perfect working order but the echo bell and slide has been lost over the years. Luckily a repairer friend of mine had one almost exactly the same come into their shop recently and so I was able to get some accurate measurements as a starting point. Really looking forward to this challenge. I'll update my progress as the project continues.
Beautifully engraved.
Pressing this valve diverts the air through the echo chamber bell.
There should be a tuning slide here, then a smaller muted bell which creates the echo effect.
