| What to do with my B&S Picc
Hello all, so for the past year or so, I've had this picc and have absolutely loved it. The problem I find now is that I'm noticing that the intonation is really bad on this horn. I've been doubting the horn by suggesting to myself that maybe the problem isn't the arrow, but the indian as my teacher likes to put it. But after having a few people toot on it, including my teacher, we're all pretty sure that it is the arrow, and not the indian. I hesitate to get rid of the horn because I REALLY love the way it sounds, it's a real dark piccolo trumpet character that I look for, and it's very comfotable to play due to the bore size, I don't feel as comfortable on other horns, but intonation isn't a problem on other horns either. So, what do you guys suggest I do? Should I sell it and get something else, should I continue to try to remedy the situation by gadgets and modifications (I already bought a Louisville pipe that helped but brought it up to bad), or should I just bite down and really work with how badly out of tune it is. Thanks for all your advice guys!
