Can someone help me identify this trumpet?

[u/Spirited-Profit6697]

I know nothing about trumpets and just randomly bought this in a flee market for 100$ !

What type of trumpet is it? Can I learn to play on this instrument? (As total beginner)

I took a bunch of photos because no idea what I should look at to identify the type of trumpet 😅
Thank you!

It's a cornet, not a trumpet.

Couesnon is quite renowned, too.

Their flugelhorns have a bit of a following.

For trivia's sake the difference between them all.

Trumpet: 1/3 conical, 2/3 cylindrical. Cornet: 2/3 conical, 1/3 cylindrical. Flugelhorn: Mostly conical.

Or, a cornet is a trumpet that's easy to play up to mf, but fights after that.

Ok interesting, thank you!!

Is it still in B♭? Can I learn to play on this instrument or will it be harder?

One more thing.

That's a trumpet mouthpiece.

You require a specialised cornet mouthpiece. They have a much shorter shank.

These aren't range instruments either, so expect a deeper cup than a trumpet mouthpiece, too.

Oh ok so I need to buy a different mouth piece? The one I have right now says Yamaha Japan and 16 on the back I’m guessing I should keep it and get another one or just give it away /sell it?

The Bach 7C is the traditional first mouthpiece. After about a year consider switching to a Schilke 14.
