bell4 1/2 in Bore .457 Engraving: Holton Ideal Made by Holton Elkhorn Wi. The Ideal has the same unique wrap used by Holton on several of their cornets, such as the Military Model, Model 25, Herbert Clarke, etc.. The lack of a cross brace from the leadtube to the belltube and the pictured cornet mouthpiece all indicate that this is a cornet. I personally think that the owner made the very common mistake of calling his extended cornet a trumpet. The added loop in the leadpipe even has its own spit valve, indicating that this extra loop was added by holton to arrive at the length of tubing needed for proper intonation. I own a silver plated Clarke model which, other than for the finish is identical in appearance to the Ideal. Mine is definately a cornet, and, I love its sweet, dark cornet tone
