Bb Cornet – Signature

Description

The Signature is the 2023 addition to GENEVA’s brass instrument range which has evolved from our premium Heritage and Cardinal models incorporating Geneva’s unique lead pipe, valve block and valve design.

Its concept was borne out of a desire to provide a lighter instrument without compromise to the free blowing qualities, exceptional intonation and warm sound our Cardinal and Heritage models are globally famed for today.

The way we have achieved this new lighter instrument without compromise was to incorporate the knowledge and design skills of Geneva using standard materials with hand hammered bells crafted by the same skilled workforce building our Premium models.

The result is an unrivalled quality at its cost for a free blowing instrument that produces a rich sound with exceptional intonation throughout the instruments written range.

The Signature range of instrument is aimed at the intermediate to professional player who requires a lighter instrument, not just for the obvious economic reason over our more expensive premium professional models, but for ergonomic reasons due to the players physical attributes or indeed the physical challenges of performing for long periods.

It is finished in a unique mix of Silver-plated Body, Yellow Brass Accents and Slides creating unrivalled stand out aesthetics for an instrument in this price range. Alternatively, we have a full Yellow Brass Lacquer version for those seeking best price.

All in all, the Signature range is the ultimate in the modern design GENEVA are reputed for, quite a stunning experience to play.

“This instrument fills a gap in the marketplace for many musicians in Brass and Wind Bands. I would recommend unreservedly you try it against other mid range priced models for its light weight and free blowing capabilities”
