The Thomann CR-950 S is a surprisingly capable cornet for the price. It’s got a warm, full sound thanks to that L-bore, making it a great choice for beginner to intermediate players, or those wanting a reliable, affordable instrument for band or general playing. The build quality is solid for the class, though it’s not a professional-grade horn.
