BessonCornets!
Out of every cornet i have tried Besson has to be the best. The 2 models i own are the Besson Sovereign medium bore and the Besson Sovereign large bore.
Everything about them signal quality and attention to detail. Marble tops of valves are a very nice touch, not essential but very nice. There are two triggers for the first and third valve which is a nice touch for keeping your intonation correct on notes that need it.
The case which is supplied is very professional looking and comes complete with two locks, stopping anyone having a nose around your instrument.
One thing I must say if you are going to try one of these instruments, do not expect a great sound out of it if you are not using a suitable mouthpiece. Many learners start off with a 7c, this is a very narrow mouthpiece allowing learners to reach ...

Advantages: Good value for money, attractive, good range Disadvantages: Ring operated 3rd slide
Although I have recently bought a new cornet, this is the one that I played for the first 3 years of being a musician.
Most music shops advise that this instrument is best for beginners, and I would definately agree with that. It is a very attractive instument, which can produce a sweet sound. Although not the best sounding instrument on the market, it is more than satisfactory if you are only a beginner.

This instrument comes with a standard sized mouothpiece ...
Advantages: great range of features, good looking camera Disadvantages: None
The Canon EOS 1000D is an excellent entry level camera. I bought it in September 2008 for £384 with the 18-55mm lens and a £50 cashback from Canon themselves.
The picture quality is excellent with a basic range of settings that are excellent for beginners to learn the ropes of photography. The build quality and reliability of this Canon is very good and i have had no problems or faults with it what so ever. Battery life is also very good and you can easily have a day out without worry of your Canon dying on you.
For the price i feel it has all the functions you need to take excellent photographs and would definately recommend it to friends or family if looking to buy an entry level camera. The instruction booklet that comes included is also very user friendly and something you can learn alot from, especially if you are a beginner like ...
