Re: piccolo trumpet

trptplyr23,

Yo have got quite a sibject there...As for B flats, there is many different piccolos and prices, so if you are realy serious about buying a piccolo it would be wise first to decide how much are you ready to spent on, and then try as much as you can and choose the best value which suites you the best...It would be also useful to know what kind of sounds you are after and what will be the main application of your horn (all around, chamber msuic, orchestral, solo etc). To start, you can go to http://www.trumpetmaster.com/vb/f139...olo-35571.html (What is your main piccolo?) where you will find a poll on piccolo where you can find out about the most popular piccolo choices on TM...for prices and availability you can ask your local shop. I hope that this helps. Be aware of the Professional shiny piccolo trumpets (chinese) on Ebay It sounds much more like a joke to me than like a serious offer.
