The brass, valved cornet was, early on, called "Cornet a Pistons" to differentiate it from the older "cornet" (AKA "cornetto" or "zinc") from which it took it's name. Later the name "Piston" was used, for a time, by itself for the brass instrument. Spellings and languages vary on all of these. > Someone has asked me to produce a modern (British) brass band set of a piece > by Amilcare Ponchielli, and Henry has very helpfully directed me to his > Pochiello website, which I'm sure is going to give me a lot of guidance. > I'm surprised Henry hasn't already done your piece!
