I am currently assisting a nephew with a school project and have some questions regarding the Cornet and its relationship with Brass Bands.
We are specifically looking for answers to these questions:
1. Why was the cornet chosen in preference to the trumpet in Brass Bands?
2. When was it first formally stipulated (in contest rules) that a trumpet could not be used?
Are there are historians out there that can help?
