    Description

    This is a brand new 3 valve piccolo I have been developing. I would not classify it as a professional yet although it is getting close.
    Like many great piccolos, this one does have some intonation issues, but if you can get a Bob Reeves short shank piccolo mouthpiece, many of those tuning issues go away. That said, MOUTHPIECE is NOT included here. However, you do get the A leadpipe, Bb leadpipe, plus an alternate 3rd valve slide should you elect not to play in the staff. It includes a brand new protective case.
    No, this will not play as good as a Schilke P5-4 or anything similar, but for the price point, it can hold it's own! It gets a decent to good tone, is somewhat freeblowing. Accuracy actually is quite decent. I have play-tested it and can confidently say it is definitely worthy at a price point just short of 00. The mouthpiece with a short shank is going to really enhance your experience with this piccolo trumpet.
    On the other hand, if you play professionally and have used Schilke, Yamaha, Bach, and other great professional piccolos, please be realistic because this is more in the intermediate playing range butting up against the advanced level.
    Shipping will be a flat and include insurance as long as you are in the 48 contiguous states. Alaska, Hawaii and international shipping will definitely be a lot more.
    I only have one like this and due to Covid last year, have not ordered any more. This one is is!
