The following is a list of all the surviving historical cornetti known to me, the catalog number of the museum

or collector,
the instrument type, curve direction and existence of an original mp. In the curve column, S means S-shaped in a plane
perpendicular to the player’s body (as in a tenor cornetto), P means “pipe shaped”, M muto, D “diritto” or straight, and
D3 indicates a straight instrument in three detachable pieces. I would be grateful for any information about additional
instruments I have missed.
