[TPIN] Starting a beginner on a Cornet vs Trumpet

[Greg Goodknight]

I'm no teacher, but the best reason is that most beginners are young and 
small of stature, and modern cornet wraps place the valve cluster closer 
to the body and the instrument is therefore easier for a young musician 
to hold properly.

I'll leave it to my betters (and some of my worsers) to speak to the 
sweeter and more vocal timbres a cornet with a cornet mouthpiece is 
capable of, and whether that and the perhaps more agile qualities over 
trumpets makes a big difference for beginners.
