Hehe, no, not clarinet... I'm thinking of a brass instrument thats basically 
a smaller version of a trumpet. Some cunning googling makes me realise I 
added an extra 'o'. Funny enough the second line of the Wikipedia article 
states "Not to be confused with coronet", so I guess I must not be the only 
not-so-cunning linguist on that one ;-).
