Hey all,

I went to a concert recently, with a cornetto, and fell head over heels in love. I have resolved to play one. However... I am not brass player, although I have been meaning to take it up for a while. Does anyone know what modern brass instrument is closest to the cornetto? It is a difficult instrument, and I thought it would be good to learn an easier one first.

ps the cornetto is wood, bound with leather, has a conical bore, is curved, and has fingerholes like a recorder. It is neither a cornet nor an ice cream :D
