Onyx Cornet

Added first example documented of an Onyx model cornet (previously only the trumpet and trombone models were documented).

Produced at the Olds plant in the mid-1970s, the Onyx models featured an ebony lacquer [aka "black nickel"] finish option over the brass areas of the horn. The ebony contrasted with the nickel silver valve tuning slides and crooks, and valve tops/caps. The Onyx is not listed in the 1973 price list or the 1977 Reynolds catalog, and recorded serial numbers date from 1974-1976.
