• The Grand Cornet in the main work is more mensuriert than the others. It is usually constructed from c1 (2 octaves) and is used primarily to strengthen the weakening in the treble tongues in Grand Jeux. At the bottom of this cornet is somewhat weaker intoned, so that the transition is smooth.
• The Cornet in the positive is also used to support the reeds and is usually only built if any. It is similar to on the main work, but it is something close mensuriert total.
• The Cornet de Récit is a solo register, which is located on the third or fourth Manual. It has a larger circumference (from F or G at least ) and is consistently strong intonation (ie in the bass than in the other works ).
• The Cornet d' Écho resembles that of the Recit, it is in the Echo work or individually, usually in a wooden box so that the sound is muffled.
