Hello. I've seen Cornets modded to look like a Firebird Trumpet on eBay. Apparently they cut the brass then bent the bell, and added a slide. I'd like to have someone do this for me. To see a cornet, just look up cornet. To see a firebird, just google firebird trumpet. I look forward to working with you. Thank you. Also, please buy your own used cornet. They are about 50-100 dollars. Buy th most trashy, yet usable thing you can buy. Just go to ebay. All I ask is that you don't buy one that's meant to be repaired unless you have skills in repairing brass. Even if you don't have the skills yourself, if know someone in the east USA with these skills, it'd still pay you for doing research for me. Thank you.
