The Trumpet and cornet are almost identical in sound; the only difference is the amount of space the two instruments take up. The tube of the cornet is much more scrunched together, and therefore the air creates a lot more friction throughout the twists and turns. The trumpet, however, has longer stretches of metal, allowing the air to take a much more smooth route through the instrument and therefore sounding more full.

What is the differen ce of a trumpet and cornet?

A trumpet is longer than a cornet and the mouthpieces are a little different on the end that goes into the instrument. A cornet's is smaller around and shorter. Also, a cornet has a slightly mellower sound. They are very interchangeable. If you can play one, you can play the other. They sound pretty much the same and you can play trumpet music on a cornet, and vise versa. Some older music will have trumpet and cornet music, but it doesn't matter which the music is played on.
