"I choose to play the Geneva Cardinal Cornet for its sound quality and consistency throughout the instruments range. The sound is superb resulting from the exceptional hand craft skills developed since 1842 by the people of Kraslice."

"The more I play the Geneva Cardinal Cornet, the more I am impressed with the ease of the upper registers and how well the intonation is throughout the instruments range."

"After what seemed to be a lifetime searching for the perfect instrument that could cope with the amount of airflow I wanted to push, I finally found this in the Cardinal Cornet." As soon as I picked up the Cardinal with its robust frame and Venturi lead pipe I new I had found the elusive match for me. I had previously compromised my upper dynamics and now without compromise I have simply the best cornet ever built"
