Editing Cornett (section)

===Bass===

There are very few surviving examples of instruments larger than the tenor cornett. One is called ''hautecontre de cornet à bouquin''.{{sfn|Marcuse|1975|page=128–129|loc="Cornett"}} The other should be called ''contrebass de cornet à bouquin'' according to Marcuse and Baines, and there are only two examples of it, one in the Paris Conservatoire museum and the other in Hamburg.{{sfn|Marcuse|1975|page=128–129|loc="Cornett"}}<ref name="Cornett-GroveDMI-1984"/><ref name="PC-c-bouquin">{{Cite web |title=Cornet à bouquin basse |orig-date=Built {{circa|16th century}} |publication-date=1873 <!-- accession date --> |work=Musée de la Musique |publisher=Philharmonie de Paris |language=fr |id=Accession number: E.577 |url= https://collectionsdumusee.philharmoniedeparis.fr/collectionsdumusee/doc/MUSEE/0161824/cornet-a-bouquin-basse |access-date=7 October 2024 }}</ref>
