"Historically, the F and G Keys have mostly been used with the Baroque trumpet, but over time and with the incorporation of rotary and piston systems, they have gradually been displaced by the new timbres and sound dimensions of the modern Bb and C trumpets, especially the modern piccolo trumpet, which has greatly facilitated the high range. The F and G trumpets have also been used more frequently for modern transcripts of Baroque repertoire (which were not originally written for the trumpet). With the cornet we have, in my opinion, a much more correct tonal characteristic in works such as those by Albinoni and Marcello, written originally for oboe, for which the cornet actually resembles the timbre of an oboe and has a more open sound than that of the piccolo trumpet. With these F and G four-valve cornets we have a range of 3 octaves (F3 to F6), which facilitates a broader dimension of sound, and this warmer colour gives much more nobility to timbre and character. Comfort, balance and intonation are simply fantastic."
