Schilke XA7 Cornet
Check out this wonderful and rare instrument that's just come into the shop! This cornet is a fantastic offering from our friends at schilke and is so enjoyable to play. This horn is perfect for those looking for a darker and richer sound.
In the tradition of the British Brass Band, the XA7 has a vintage English short model Shepherd’s crook cornet design with a tighter wrap and a dark, rich and round sound, plus a wonderful response at lower dynamic levels. This cornet is even in color and intonation in all registers with articulation clarity from high to low and good projection at the highest volume. The XA7 also features a medium bore design that offers slightly more resistance to the player.
This horn is in excellent condition save for some minor surface scratching and a very minor ping on the rim of the inner bell flare. Beyond this, the horn looks great and plays even better, The slides all move perfectly and the valves move smoothly. Don't miss out on this fantastic instrument.
