Smith-Watkins K2 Cornet
This cornet comes to us on consignment and is a wonderful player. The K2 is a very versatile instrument and is great for a multitude of styles. It excels especially in British style brass bands. This horn has seen some use including a bit of plate wear particularly on the typical contact points of the instrument. There is also some minor denting on the main tuning slide, 2nd valve slide, and leadpipe. the leadpipe does present some signs of red rot and will need eventual replacement. Beyond this it is a great playing cornet and would be perfect for a student looking to upgrade or a comeback player. Pick this horn up today!
