The '''cornet''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|k|ɔːr|n|ᵻ|t}},<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/pronunciation/english/cornet| title = pronunciation of ''cornet'' in the Oxford Learner's Dictionaries}}</ref> {{IPAc-en|us|k|ɔːr|ˈ|n|ɛ|t}}) is a [[brass instrument]] similar to the [[trumpet]] but distinguished from it by its conical [[Bore (wind instruments)|bore]], more compact shape, and mellower tone quality. The most common cornet is a [[transposing instrument]] in B{{music|flat}}. There is also a [[soprano cornet]] in E{{music|flat}} and cornets in A and C. All are unrelated to the [[Renaissance]] and early [[Baroque]] [[cornett]].
