SCNA16
The A16 cornet offers students a genuine introduction to the cornet's distinctive warm, rounded voice — built with the quality and playability that make learning an instrument feel natural and rewarding. Its yellow brass bell delivers a focused tone with the smooth, blending character the cornet is known for, responding evenly across all registers as technique develops. Comfortable to hold and easy to play, the A16 is designed to support the developing musician with reliable intonation and consistent response from the very first note. Whether in a concert band, youth ensemble, or private studio, the A16 gives students a real instrument to grow with.
