| Description | Takes a cornet mouthpiece
Kenton: I believe we may have the Ludwig "trumpet" mis marked. Compare it with this horn
Pryorphone: On the other hand, WHICH size cornet mouthpiece? The old, short mouthpiece is not the same as a modern long one. If it is a modern [cornet] one, I can imagine an older (or Euro) trumpet size fitting, also. If it is an old, short size, then there is no doubt.
I have seen the same thing happen on eBay; people calling pre-Conn Ltd (pre-1915) trumpets cornet (which ARE trumpets; they had distinct cornet styles) just because they can be played with a modern dize cornet mouthpiece.

| Description | OLDLOU: Another "extended cornet". Note the extra loop in the bellpipe and the cornet mouthpiece in the cornet sized receiver.
With the name Ludwig, is it possible that this horn was made by/for Carl Fischer Corp. during the time that Fischer also owned Ludwig drum Co.? |
