Description

Monk Cornettino in C @ A440 – Leather/Resin by Jeremy West – includes New Dutch Acorn Mouthpiece and Padded Bag

The late Christopher Monk’s legacy to early music was the invention and development of the resin cornetto and the workshops now under the management of Jeremy West and continue to produce some of the best and most widely played cornetti in the world. Some players choose this smaller cornettino over the treble of the family on account of its comfortable finger stretch. The finger hole spacing does make it suitable for children, giving them an insight into the world of renaissance wind otherwise only available to them through the recorder. The fingering is close to that of a descant recorder in C.
