OmgMellophone As a bassoonist, I always got a kick out of it when people would complain about the cost of their instruments. 😉 Although, there are always more expensive instruments. I imagine the timpani (with all of the pieces) is quite expensive. Anyway, then I started to teach myself the harp lol. I swear don't intentionally pick expensive instruments. The harp was what I originally wanted to play when I was very young, but my school did not have one and rentals back then weren't readily available. Nice to see another bassoonist in the comments section. Happy playing!

The difference My ears and my ears and my wallet to

Quick-n-easy High B-natural alternative on piccolo. Use both trill keys. (Thumb LH1 LH3 / Trill1 Trill 2). Seriously, I don't know who showed this to me, but it has saved my life, and I have noticed that it works on almost ALL piccolos across the board. The Powell's really shone in this little test of yours to me. The Roy Seaman also. But I will also say, that I don't usually like Yamaha's (FOR ME) but the best sounding clip was you on your Yamaha, which in my opinion goes to show that whatever works best for each individual player along with lots of practice and work with that instrument really shows in the end result. Also you're playing Rossini ;-)

Pardon me but I saw your hula fluting video, I'm 12 and I tried it. It definitely made playing without the hula hoop easier, ESPECIALLY the atrocity of the chromatic scale.

I don't know if I had the 32, but I had a Yamaha that looked like that, so I suppose it was. I loved it. Played it two years for marching band and pep band, three years for concert band. I had a Sonare flute that I loved and it sounds like the piccolo also sounds awesome!

I could definitely tell the difference between the Powell/Roy Seaman piccs-vs-the others because they had a more open & richer/deeper tone. It would have been nice to know what all the models were made of as opposed to just mentioning the two. I was hoping to see a larger variety on this test like a high-end piccolo such as Hammig or Burkart along with Gemeinhardt & Jupiter just to add variety in brands and pricing. I play a Hammig Mezzo (composite) w/modified thin wave headjoint for outdoors & for indoors, I use a Briolette wooden piccolo which actually plays better than my Hammig, in my opinion.

Its from the La Gazza Ladra Overture by Rossini!!!

I like a nice, full tone all the way up, so that they actually sound like pitches, instead of a rusty door hinge. Amalie pulls this off pretty consistently, no matter what she's playing.

I'm a bassoonist, so I'm not an expert in flutes 😁. But, the differences I could discern came down to how clear the note was and the ease of getting the pitch correct. The last run of the excerpt seemed like some of instruments dragged a bit. Meaning, in the best way I can think to describe it, that it sounded as if it took more literal effort from the artist. I hope that makes a modicum of sense. Love your channel!
