[Dixielandjazz] cornets?

[Flip Oakes]

Hello Dave,

I make 2 different cornets, that are GREAT Instruments. Fir the turn of the
20th century I make a short shepherds model cornet. it can be seen at:

I also make a Long American Model, it can be seen at:

I have played them at many different Dixieland Jazz Festivals through the
years, with the South Market Street Jazz Band. Their both great instruments.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Flip Oakes
