| Well, I'm back!
riffdawg2000,
Nothing is wrong with my Stomvi Piccolo.
I'm just curious to know if all piccolos are hard to play in Bb like when playing the Branderburg #2.
BTW my Stomvi Piccolo IS ALSO in three keys: G/A/Bb
imjazd1
With my current piccolo I can play it 3-4 (third movement) times (with 5 minute breaks in between) but I have to take a long 30 minute break after that to be able to play it again and of course play some long tones to relax the muscles.
Now you can probably see my curiousity on the 1520 specially in G maybe the Branderburg IS EASIER to play?
My goal is to be able to play it 7 times (with 5 minute breaks in between) just to make sure I'm ready to perform it.
Piccs are always easy to play in A, on that key I can go for hours :)
As to what mouthpiece I'm using with my picc... 7E 25 throat and 117 backbore. I like the BIG sound I get with it specially in the key of A.
Can you provide an audio clip (either you or one of your friends) playing it in G/A and Bb.
Maybe
Trumpet Voluntary (playing it in trumpet in A)
Branderburg #2 (playing it in trumpet in G and Bb)
I hope you have time to do this for me hmm us (this forum) Thanks in advance.
