im not a play an instrument but i can hear the cheaper piccolo's has a faint air sound with each note.. while the more expensive one you just hear the note. but for the price it would do as a good starter/travel instrument i guess.

as a flute player in band, this is really cool! you’re really good at the piccolo, and probably amazing at the flute aswell! keep up the good work! ❤️

I think that the difference between cheap and professional picollo is way more audible. And when playing picollo there is always problem with tuning and stuff so in my opinion when you want to buy picollo (but not a professional one) you should consider for instance Yamaha YPC32 👏

@flutechannel

Totally it is very audible in these examples. Problem is for many is that the YPC-32 is over budget for many people. Im surprised and pretty happy options likes this are available.

@andrejcernansky6520

5 жыл бұрын

Of course it is a great option for a forming marching band or those who have a low budget. But usually before you start playing picollo, you'd probably played for couple years on flute. And if you take it seriously you should better save up for a better one. But for example me, i am playing the mentioned Yamaha 32 and i have it just lent from our music school and i play in orchestra on it. 👏

@flutechannel

5 жыл бұрын

Yes and no Andrej, in America especially wind band (high school) and college marching bands some start off on the piccolo. Which is great. Another sad problem is even school music programs don't have the budget for new instruments, so they would rather play music that doesn't require a certain instrument than get an expensive piccolo. I wish I had a school lend me a nice piccolo like that 32 or 62.

Thanks so much for the piccolo demonstrations. I always wanted one and just bought a similar one on ebay. Thanks always for sharing.

@flutechannel

5 жыл бұрын

totally for just seeing if you like it or not, it's quite inexpensive.

The Yamaha has a clearer tone, but that’s to be expected for something not intended for beginners. The cheaper alternatives, like you have said, are great for people just starting on piccolo and they aren’t as responsive to weather like the wooden one, so you could spend more time practicing rather than tuning at least until your ear develops at least, and until you’ll be able to just tell if something sounds off. So that really great. It’s always the little nuances for some one trained though, that can make or break an instrument, metaphorically of course.

as a piccolo player i recognized stars and stripes forever immediately 😭😭💞💞

That famous Piccolo solo from John Philip Sousa's The Stars and Stripes Forever. Easily the most iconic part of any march ever written.

Ahh the piccolo! I like the way they sounds but I only practice at home so I think the should would drive my mom crazy! 😂 maybe i will get one next year

It is Sousa!!!! Stars and Stripes Forever is the piece, and that part is the iconic and recognizable piccolo soli or solo.

Great video!!!!! Exactly what I was looking for😅❤

I am currently playing the Tin Whistle and loving it. I'm slowly moving onto the Fife and eventually the Piccolo. The only thing is I play with my dominant hand on top (Right handed). I shall have to correct it sooner than later if I wanna play such a wonderful sounding instrument!

Yes!! I remember suggesting this!!!!!!!

My flute teacher have the Yamaha piccolo and it sounds beautiful

I m in a military band i playing both flute & piccolo"the wooden piccolo sounds better

This video I could (surprisingly) tell the difference in sound between the three piccolos. The silver Eastar sounded better than the Nickel (a bit more resonant). The wood definitely had a "less screechy" sound to it, more fluid and consistent in notes. However as you've pointed out in your video, the cheaper piccolos are good for beginners since they are playable and don't cost a mint. One has to start somewhere and at least the cheap piccolos work. That's good to know. Thank you for the video. : )

The tone quality on the professional piccolo is more clear and full and it doesn’t look like the player has to put a lot of strain into getting the notes out which can be seen in the cheaper piccolos. Even so, beautiful playing on every instrument!

Warning!!! I actually had a student that asked for some piccolo help. She had the silver plated Eastar. I did think that it was pretty responsive but the pitch was very flat. We had tried to push in as much as possible and still was about 10 cents under. The cork was where it needed to be. After a few minutes of fiddling around with it, the instrument was finally closer to pitch. The A was about 2 or 3 cents flat. (This is with the piccolo still pushed in all the way) If you get this piccolo (or any piccolo), make sure that you check intonation.

In my jazz group theres 2 flute solos currently and our concert is in less than 2 weeks. I play clarinet and sax, but my clarinet part lines up with the flutes so im here for moral support.
