Eb Over-The-Shoulder (OTS) Cornet

C.A. Zoebisch design based on key markings and brace design, ca 1860. Brass with silver trim. Three top action American string actuated rotary valves. Some historians call this a "New York" instrument, and in all probability, the product of John F. Stratton. Anonymous. Called a "Deaf Man's Horn" due to the closeness of the bell to the player's ear. It is 20" long, and has a bell diameter of 4 5/8". It has a silver Bell Garland and an unmarked Stratton-type shield on the side just before the bell flares.
