During my music summer school in the early-to-mid 1970s, at one point one of the band directors, a trumpeter, called out to whomever might be listening: "some people say the piccolo trumpet is hard to play. That's not true at all: IT'S DAMNED NEAR IMPOSSIBLE,"

Thanks for the time you put into videos.. You give me inspiration to continue to get better and I play from Tuba-Piccolo tpt and some saxophone. I haven't gotten really into tbn due to nature of the slide but I'll get there. Thanks for what you do :)

Very humble guy! and humbleness will get you far

I bought a piccolo trumpet, and indded with the standard mouthpieces it does not play easier the higher octave Bb4-Bb5 compared to the standard trumpet . BUT then I realized that the fault is in the mouthpieces and I bought small mouthpieces of 11mm-14,4.mm diameter from resin or acorn that are normally used for wooden cornetti musical instruments , AND THE MIRACLE HAPPENED ! Playing the Bb4-Bb5 octave became almost as easy as playing the Bb3-Bb4 octave in the standard trumpet.

An octave higher than a trumpet!?! This thing should be called the headache horn!

Major props, while I have played trumpet for the past 9 years, and have a regular gig in a rock/blues band, at no point have I ever attempted piccolo trumpet. That you have the sheer nads to attempt it garners major respect. In spite of the fact you are a low brass player, and therefore supposedly beneath my notice, JK!

I think my favorite part was the fourth valve. it made me laugh on an otherwise bad day thank you :)

Thank you very much

Is it hard to play? Like compared to a trumpet?? Does it have a similar mouthpiece? Like do u know the size of there is one? The mouthpiece I use is a jazz one which is 11B4 but I also have a 7c-

Out of curiosity how does your cornet/trumpet upper range translate to this? So lets say I am reasonably fine playing top C on cornet, roughly what do you think I could expect to hit when using piccolo?

@TrentHamilton

7 жыл бұрын

The piccolo trumpet doesn't necessarily make high notes easier, it just makes them more tuneful (at least, that's the theory). A top C on a trumpet is an equivalent difficulty to a C (one octave lower) on a piccolo trumpet.

Cheers for the reply. Its quite interesting how it works out like that.

@TooSlowTube

Personally, I find it easier to play high notes on the smaller instruments - like a piccolo trumpet or a soprano cornet, but then my upper range is pretty terrible. I think for someone with a good upper range, it's true that they won't necessarily get any higher, but for someone who struggles to play above the stave on a normal sized trumpet or cornet (guilty), the smaller instruments can make it easier. I find those notes are easier to get, and easier to keep playing later into the practice session. It could just be the result of using a shallower mouthpiece, of course. I can get a bit higher on a Bb or C trumpet or Bb cornet by using something ridiculously shallow, like a 7D, but then the lower range suffers, and it just doesn't feel right. You also need less air to play high notes on the smaller instruments though, so that helps with duration.

@carpetsomething

5 жыл бұрын

Based on the fact that I can get roughly as high on cornet (not my instrument, I was just playing my friends a few weeks ago) as I can on my baritone I would expect you could probably hit top c on piccolo trumpet?

they also come in C, and there are also the herald trumps, and several variations of the Clarino trumpet/

in the late 80s i bought a new getzen 3 valve capri piccilo trumpet and a capri flugel horn on a combo special purchase. i was well satisfied with both but i found i could play my old severinsen getzen easier in the same high range by changing the mouthpiece and tuning slide so i traded the piccolo trumpet off. i lived in a big college town so selling it was no problem.if i had bought a 4 valve piccolo trumpet i might have kept it.. my experience is if you dont have a high range with a full size trumpet you wont have one with a piccolo trumpet either. i found the regular sized trumpet was easier to play in that high range so that wqas a supprize to me.

I am 16. I play trumpet in my school band and extra audition band I got into in grade 10. We play level 4-6 and it is hard but fun. Yesterday my friend and I were talking about piccolo instruments. She just got a Eb clarinet. Well this new song we got we are basically on playing notes between c and a c above the staff. It's pretty difficult to play, it's graded at a 5 1/2 so im struggling. I really want to try a piccolo trumpet just to see what it's like. It's adorable and I would love to try one 😊

No need to be sorry. That's pretty good playing. You are truly an accomplished all around musician.

Hello Trent. I played my middle school and I have a very big interest in the trumpet. And I was looking for a Piccolo trumpet in the key of B-flat but I’m not sure which one to buy. You’re probably not gonna see this

I am actually getting a piccolo trumpet soon. Any tips on playing that you could give me?

trent youi should see about saving for a monnet trumpet and review it.its expensive,like 10,000 u.s. dollars,but it's definitely worth the money from what iv seen.

Is that trumpet is the fake Stradivarius you made a video about?

Although rare, the smallest practical trumpet is actually the C piccolo.

Truthfully, I didn't know you could do vibrato like that on a trumpet. This guy is selling himself short. That was great!

May I ask you how you mastered all brass instruments and the history of every single one?

@Aoichanpiano

Жыл бұрын

the history would be hard work and dedication, but since all of the valve combinations would be practically the same across everything that is valved in the brass world (tuba, eupho, trumpet, french horn, valve trombone, etc.) then if you know the key of the instrument you can play it

Why does it have a pinky hook if you have to use four fingers for four valves?

Nothing quite like a Trumpet and a Conga on the Beach.

Where exactly did you get this amazing instrument? Because this has really interested me. Plus it sounds as if it's the "keyboard" out of the like trumpet brand family. I want to learn more about this instrument, and how to play it You know and where to get it from.

do be honest i actually liked your playing on the piccolo trumpet a little better than the original trumpet. You should working on learning it some more! I would like to hear more of this instrument.

Unfortunately the piccolotrumpet made the cornetto ( it has a corpus of wood with seven holes, similar to the recorder, but has a mouthpiece smaller than at normal for trumpets and a very lovely sound less trompety rather a bit going in the direction of the sound of an oboe). If you haven't ever heard of the cornetto instrument and have a greater interest in brass instruments and instruments working the same way I very much recommend you to look it up!

If you can play a G above top C on a standard Bb Trumpet you have a slightly better range than me, I can play D (or sometimes and Eb when I'm doing scales to warm up) above top C. Working on improving my range though
