Re: Will piccolo trumpets keep its place in Baroque literature?

One thing I found is with the SPCO's experiment of using natural trumpets for Beethoven and Schubert (with Roberto Abbado) really didnt work, the horns and woodwinds were using modern instruments and the strings were still using modern bows and steal strings, so there were considerable balance problems.
