Taylor Orpheus Cornet - Traditional Shepherd’s Crook Design with Comfortable Playability
The Orpheus Cornet is a classic, Shepherd’s crook-style instrument that stays true to the traditional cornet sound. Unlike many modern cornets that can sound more like trumpets, the Orpheus delivers the warm, full tone a cornet should.
Comfort is a priority: many contemporary cornets offer limited left-hand space, making them awkward to hold. The Orpheus addresses this with extra-tall valve casings, providing more left-hand room for a secure, comfortable grip—perfect for extended playing.
Ideal for players seeking a vintage-style cornet with authentic tone, traditional design, and enhanced comfort.
