This used Geneva Bb cornet in silver plate is in good condition and plays extremely well. We gave it a professional cleaning and precision valve alignment, and compression is best with a slightly thicker oil like Yamaha Vintage Synthetic. There’s no plating loss other than on the finger buttons and where the third slide trigger was removed, and only a few minor surface scratches and signs of small past repairs. There’s no red rot or evidence of serious trauma.
Valve action is superb, and the main tuning slide trigger works smoothly, making it easy to manage intonation on the fly. Although this is an older, unengraved model, it resembles the modern Cardinal series in design and feel, albeit with some differences including the bore size. The ML .459" bore offers a comfortable amount of resistance without feeling tight, giving the player something to lean on.
This is a wonderful cornet designed with British brass band playing in mind—responsive, well-balanced, and tonally rich. No case included.
