cornetto definition and meaning

What is a "cornetto"?

A cornetto is a historical wind instrument made of wood or ivory, shaped like a curved, hollow tube with a flared bell. It uses a mouthpiece similar to a trumpet and produces sound by buzzing the lips into it. The cornetto has a series of finger holes or keys to change the pitch. Known for its bright, penetrating tone, it was popular in Renaissance and early Baroque music and often played in combination with other instruments. Its distinctive sound and historical significance make it an important part of early music ensembles.
