I have started looking into piccolo trumpets recently. I am far away from being able to get one, but I like to try and do my research first. For now, I am trying to compare the two listed above, Stomvi Master and p5-4(BG preferably). Which of the two would you recommend and why?
I am aware that the Schilke is considered the "standard" but I personally don't see that as a reason to buy a horn (case and point: Bach.) I have tried many searches, both here and on TH and not found too much info on the Stomvi, but what I have found is all good review. Same with the Schilke, except with much better results as far as finding threads about it. I also looked some on Brass Review earlier today and there were all good responses about the Master, and 2 or 3 not so good for the P5-4. But I am sure that it could be the player or they could have possibly just gotten a DOG, as one seemed to think.
Also, if anyone is able to give a review about the sterling and gold plate bells (or even the wooden bell
) for the Stomvi, that would be greatly appreciated.
