The cornet is a standard brass band instrument, which was derived from the bugle family. However, lately it has been gradually replaced by the trumpet in the United States. The trumpet is also used more often than the cornet in orchestral, small ensemble, and solo performances. The cornet is the main high voice of the Brass band in the UK and other countries that have British-style brass bands.
