pCornet Bb plastic cornet outfit

Introducing the pCornet outfit

Following in the footsteps of the pBone and the pTrumpet, the pCornet is the world's first ever fully plastic cornet! It is based on the traditional British Shepherd’s crook Bb cornet and is designed in the UK for musicians by musicians. The patented lead pipe technology ensures a vibrant and focused sound and it is tough and durable and able to take a few knocks. The all-plastic main, first and third valve tuning slides give you great flexibility of tuning. This instrument is perfect for beginners and young students and the bright red colouring makes it very attractive and fun to use! It comes in its own cloth bag along with 1 2b and 1 4b Denis Wick plastic mouthpieces.

Essential tools for education

pInstruments were developed to foster a love of music in younger students, giving them lightweight and accessible instruments to learn on at cheap prices and – crucially - of virtually unbreakable construction. Designed by a team of UK-based musicians and engineers, this plastic trombone led the way for a series of high-quality, durable, and affordable pInstruments, trusted by scores of general music teachers.

pInstruments and the environment

pInstruments are serious about making music fun and accessible for all, but are also conscious and considerate of how their processes can affect the environment. Working hard to reduce their environmental impact, pInstruments can proudly announce they are completely carbon neutral - but that is not all.

Here is how pInstruments consider the "3 Rs" during all of their processes to further reduce their environmental impact.

REDUCE

• All instruments are made using ABS plastic, consuming fewer resources than the manufacture of traditional brass instruments.
• Every time pInstruments make an instrument out of plastic rather than brass, the amount of CO2 produced is reduced considerably.
• pInstruments is the first instrument manufacturer to offer only carbon-neutral musical instruments independently assessed by Carbon Footprint, the UK’s leading validator of greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) and carbon emissions (CO2e).

REUSE

• The beauty of ABS is that any excess materials left over from the process can simply be melted down and re-used!
• pInstruments are virtually indestructible, but in the case of a broken instrument, they can provide many replacement parts.
• If you have an instrument you are no longer using, you can always pass it onto a friend! This reduces waste, and provides the added bonus of sharing and encouraging music making with others.

RECYCLE

• pInstruments are recyclable under group 7, and can be recycled at certain central locations or by recycling specialists.
• Contact your local recycling centre for advice.
