What Do the Conn Cornets Look Like?
This page contains a list of Cornets for which I have acceptable quality pictures, so you can see what they look like. My HTML skill is insufficient to incorporate this into the "missing cornet page" (which would make sense) and also get the colors correct. Sorry about that.
If you have a good quality picture of an instrument not on this list, please contact me.
