| The company was established by Thomas Boosey in 1816. In 1934 the Hawkes & Son firm merged with them to form the now well-known Boosey & Hawkes. The instrument shown has Distin markings as well as Boosey, indicating the circa 1874 name change from Distin & Co to Boosey & Son. The crook shown was used to change it from a soprano cornet to a so-called vocal cornet in C. Each valve slide is etched with a line to where it should be pulled out for use in C. | |||||||
