"Charles Kretzschmann in Strasbourg, rare 2-piston cornet in its case with all its accessories from the 1850s, ivory piston tips.
This cornet is perfectly playable, as demonstrated by a well-known trumpeter in our jazz club.
""Even if Charles Kretzschmann's production was heavily influenced by German manufacturing, its diversity and creativity remain French in spirit: trumpets with keys, circulars, half-moons, whelks, ophicleides show that this provincial maker was on a par with the best Parisian makers. With the possible exception of one or two makers from Lyon, no provincial brass maker produced such a variety of instruments at the beginning of the 19th century."""
