TrumpetMaster - View Single Post - Would you buy it? Bach VBS 196 vs. Schilke P5-4 Piccolo

The Getzen with Blackburn pipes is a fine choice. The Schilke P5-4 with Blackburn pipes is a very nice horn. I find it a very comfortable all around piccolo. It plays well in tune with itself (A is better third valve rather than 1 and 2) and with others. The Schertzer rotary has a richer sound and blends better with vocal soloists. Another point to think about with piccolo trumpets. Long bell or short model? Each have their own camps.
