The Professional’s Choice Without the Premium Price

The Elliott Brass Professional Cornet is rapidly becoming a favorite for players who demand a classic “British” brass band sound without the prohibitive price tag of traditional flagship brands. Designed to provide a rich, mellow tonal core, this instrument offers the lyrical warmth and agility required for both soloists and section leaders in the UK’s most demanding competitive environments. For too long, the professional cornet market has been dominated by a few heritage brands, often leading to inflated costs for the individual player. Elliott Brass was founded to challenge this, merging the precision of Hong Kong’s elite instrument engineering with the specific tonal requirements of the British Brass Band movement.

Technical Precision & Material Quality

Engineered with high-grade 80:20 brass, the instrument boasts a copper-rich alloy that delivers a significantly warmer sound profile than standard yellow brass models. The technical precision of the hand-lapped Monel valves ensures a lightning-fast and reliable action, essential for the intricate technical passages found in Championship Section test pieces. Further enhancing its professional utility, the cornet features dedicated 1st and 3rd valve slide triggers. These are not merely cosmetic; they are precision-engineered to allow for effortless intonation adjustments on traditionally difficult low notes.

The Elliott Advantage: UK Specialist Setup

By working directly with the Elliott Brass workshop in Hong Kong and bypassing traditional multi-tier distribution layers, we offer this professional-grade cornet at just above half the price of its US and UK counterparts. Every Elliott instrument undergoes a rigorous “Pre-Delivery Inspection” (PDI) at our partner workshop, Brass Toff, in the UK. This involves hand-seating the valves and a full play-test, ensuring your cornet arrives ready for a rehearsal the day it is delivered.
