Flip Oakes Wild Thing Shepherds Crook Short Cornet SN# 41596 Engraved

Extensively engraved, this cornet has the same gentle flowing curves that will remind you of the Grand Old Cornets of the past with one major exception. Using today's technology and Flip Oakes' unique design, he has added a playing quality has never before been achieved in any cornet. The most significant features of this horn is it's open wrapped, conical, one piece, hand hammered bell. This horn is extensively engraved. New this horn would cost you well over $4000! I know Flip personally. He put his heart and soul into his instruments. These cornets are very special!

Have you ever had the chance to look at the engraving on a Salvation Army, Bandmaster (shorty) Shepherds Crook cornet? It's beautiful. The horn is a frost like silver with elaborate gold lacquer engraving and the inside of the bell is also gold lacquer. I think they were either made by Boosey & Hawkes or Besson. I have one in very fine condition. It's a first rate cornet.
