    I love the way he says "playing the piccolo trumpet is fun", and when he says "you can get dizzy, you can black out, and it's hurt, BUT WORST OF ALL MUSICLY YOUR THROAT SHUTS DOWN...", musical playing is more important than healthyness. nice vid

    I have been playing piccolo now for almost 10 years and I only recently learned not to pour so much air into it. Dr. Burt could not be more right on this stuff. Thanks for the video. Good luck with your playing!

      No, most piccolos use mouthpieces that have a coronet-sized shank or "receiver" as Ozzy calls it.

    • @LowReedExpert1
      @LowReedExpert1 10 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Good question, thats a common misconception. You have basically the same range on a piccolo as you do on the soprano register horns (C/Bb/A etc.) Work on range on your trumpet first before branching to picc, it helps so much, try to get the upper register (about Bb to high G above the staff) to almost sing. The goal to prep for the picc is not to "scream" on the trumpet but to sing the upper register, you'll find it will also require less air in time for the tone. Hope this helps!

    I have Getzen BbA four valve and have been having air compression pains. So much so that I have to release air or feel like I'm going to blow up!!!! I tried your shallow air a few minutes ago and it seems to be better. I am a lead trpt with a big band and am used to blowing my brains out. I use a Bach 10.5C with the bore bored out with a #23 drill as suggested by the ITG. My lungs hold at least 2500ML when I use the Hospital breath exerciser I got from the Hospital. You inhale when using this and I can "Pin" the arrow to the top. I have tried a Warbureton with a 4M cup and a #11 shank. But always returned to the Bach. Also my picc experience indicated the Picc plays better with the A shank. You can use the Picc in A when playing a D concert number which would put you in E =4# on the Bb . If you use the A shank, you play up a half note so that you trade 4# for one flat. It makes the trills easier. Finally I've heard of a Picc in C as if Bb isn't hard enough. Have you ever heard of a Picc in C?

    Bach, Händel and Telemann are NOT piccolo music. It's just a bit more convenient than a huge natural trumpet :)

      soma the n00b how is it useless? In Europe, rotary valves are the main contender in instrument design as piston valves are in North America. It just varies in the comfort and personal preference.
