[poiuytpoiuyt1000]

Hey! AMAZING picc. playing! :) I am supposed to be playing piccolo next year for marching band but don't know which would be the best. I am trying to find one with the composite body because the fingers are a little bit more spread apart.

Any suggestions?

[Warayume]

is piccolo based on mostly embachure or pitches?

[dslrpicture]

where do you buy haynes wooden picalos

[omgzJENNA]

do you think prelude is a good brand?

[Yoyo38000]

You're sound seem's little stressed !  ok you can play, but play more "light" please !

[twlightt]

I'm starting piccolo tomorrow. do you have any good tips?

[jazzzz1066]

Nice medley; fun, too!  Great tone. Brava!!.

[Jabbajabba1722]

Wat is the name of the song before sabre dance???

[Iplaypiccolo]

[khaliajade33]

Artey piccolos are good too.

[thedarkportal1]

you have done really well on your piccolo how long have you been playing?

do you have any good songs that maby i could get notes for and play on my piccolo?

if you have any note send them to me if you can thank you

[jzc11024]

Bundy is NOT the brand to get!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brands like Armstrong and Geminhardt are good. Yamaha piccolo are great too.

[XmortdreadX]

this was put up exactly 2 years ago AWSOME lol

[Shila14XX]

i play the flute.

i am the best out of my school..and the 5 or 4th best out of the entire school system..

i have played piccolo befor but its the schools..so i have to get my own...

its the best..

but not to much sound comes out..

how do you make sound come out??

[misty214]

I'm trying to learn how to play the piccolo. I can play the flute fairly well, but I really can't get much sound out of the piccolo I have. It's a Bundy if that helps.

[foreverwoodwinds]

Perhaps that's part of the problem! Has your piccolo been tuned up recently? May be out of adjustment as well and/or needing new pads! Good luck!

[Jlundy12]

@misty214 Bundy is not a good brand

[julyanation20]

is this the piccolo on your ebay that you fixed and repaded, of the fixing service you have ? [: im thinking of sending my gemeinhardt 4P to you (: i did my research .

[foreverwoodwinds]

Hello, yes it's the same piccolo and I did a full repad on it with the same quality pads! Thanks for writing & good luck! -Suzie

[TheKrAzyViolinist]

Whats a significant difference between a piccolo and a wooden piccolo... is the wooden one better?

[foreverwoodwinds]

Wooden piccolos generally sound smoother than metal piccolo. Depending on the manufacturer of the piccolo(s) and cut of the embouchure hole will determine the ease of playability.

[XoSammyXo95]

Lovely. I play flute on my 3rd year. im going to also play piccolo next year cause we can play both. Im in 7th grade band 8th soon. I also play piano and the notes are the same so it wount be as diifficalt.

[iosca50]

very nice.God bless you

[blessedblueangel]

Do you have to be a flute player to transfer into playing the piccolo? Because i play the clarinet and next year im either going to play the piccolo or saxaphone

[picark]

The thing about playing flute to piccolo is the you know the fingerings.I play piccolo yet not flute.I have difficulty getting a sound out of a flute, not that I couldn't play it.The chromatic scale in first octive on the flute is at a "C" . The piccolo is at a "D" do to the fact that the piccolo hasn't any footjoint therefore doesn't have the fingerings to make the note as the flute does.The "Emerson or Geimeinhardt" composite piccolo(s) are the best for starting.Metallic headjoints are o.k.

[blessedblueangel]

thank you for the info! i wanted to play the piccolo but now im not. i play clarinet and therefore im not aloud to switch to piccolo. i am going to play the saxaphone instead.

[CaterrinElizabeth21]

WOW YOU ARE AMAZING!!

by the way is piccolo hard? becuase i might start playing as i need an instrument to play for my GCSE music course and i thought that the piccolo was different to all the others!

[Rodier1128]

the general conception is if you can play flute you can play piccolo.

If you've never tried either, hit up a local music store and ask them if you can try to play the picc. If you can get a sound, go for it.

[picark]

Well the" if you can play flute you can play piccolo" theory isn't always true.The embourchore in the headjoint for one.I play "piccolo" not flute yet one things for sure blowing into a flute would be like blowing into a sipping straw.Now with the piccolo it's alot like blowing into a mini coffee stir straw.The pout of the lips even becomes smaller when you hit above "G"in second octive.Good piccolo one that I really like is the Emerson plastic composite body/head conical bore.

The best ones!

[hssenior]

sometimes the picclo can sound like a dog whistle and a squeak combination

[loverloverdover33]

very nice..i play flute now..i used 2 play picc. in 8th grade and im hoping 2 be able 2 play it next year but idk....good job tho =]

[KamakaziWatermellon]

very nice! hey i play the flute, how hard is it to play both, if u know

[narutorocks33]

You took that video on my 12th birthday ^.^

[Symphonion]

Super! I was wondering in which tone range the piccolo is normally played - you illustrate that splendidly ;) Nice playing, btw.

[mwasaw]

Wow. I've played the piccolo for a day now and my parents hate it.

[EleanorFluteFairy]

wow so talented! :) I don't suppose you know where I could get hold of the music to sabre dance??? Keep playing you're great!

[LJSJSK]

very talented... i play the flute but i have always wanted to play the piccolo.... how hard is it?

[foreverwoodwinds]

I think it depends on your ability to play the flute and how long you'd be devoted to practicing the piccolo. Practice makes perfect! =)

[Rodier1128]

Like she said..

Its harder to get the lower nots on the picc. than it was/would be to get a low C or low B on the flute, so that takes practice.

[DKongfreak]

The piccolo came to me the first day I tried it. Still, I can't get higher than an 8va Bb.

[foreverwoodwinds]

Are you referring to the Bb above the staff or the Bb above the Bb above the staff? Is it possible that the piccolo is leaking?

[DKongfreak]

Yes, the really high Bb. I have a Yamaha YPC 32, and I've only been playing for a semester. I'm currently in the 8th grade.

[Tasha197Nick]

I love this video! I play the bass clarinet but I want to play the piccolo!!!!!!

TEE-HEE Lauren was here!!!!!!!

[gothjeff]

very nice favorited :)

[jsugars]

it's a medly but i don't know some of the songs but one did kind of sounded like HABERNERA

[krina19]

nice!! i also play the piccolo! u have a wooden one wich is better! can tell me the name of the songs and the composers? can u play E in the 3er OCTAVE? i only reach to C7! i'm not sure if a piccolo can play that note!

[zaddielowe]

Whats the name of the song and composer of the piece you play after habenara carmen?? Its really good!! :D Sounds kind of Russian

[geoxsep]

It's the final movement in a ballet called "Gayaneh" by Aram Khachaturian. The movement is most famously known as the Sabre Dance.

[abda53]

It'd be better if you were topless. lol just playing. Great job.. some of it sounds like a bagpipe.. very cool

[Birdog225]

Zowie!

You really work that piccolo girl! Did I see a little trickle of smoke come out 'da end of it 'der near the end?

[foreverwoodwinds]

Haha. Thanks for the comment! =)

[LittleFlower726]

Wow, fast response! Thanks! I placed a bid on a Yamaha piccolo (it started at .98!; the bid hasn't gone any higher yet!). I can't wait to get my Gemeinhardt! I'll probably post a video on here once I get good enough. Thanks again for your reply!

[foreverwoodwinds]

Neat, good luck with the piccolo! I've added you to my friend's list and if you need anything let me know! =)

[LittleFlower726]

It's funny. When you get down to the low notes, it sounds exactly like a regular flute.  But when you get to the high notes, it sounds like a singing bird. How long does it take to learn? Is it that much different than a flute? I play flute, and I just bought a Gemeinhardt 2sp (I'm halfway between a beginner and an intermediate), and was wondering if the fingerings are any different?

[foreverwoodwinds]

Hi and thanks for the comment! The fingerings are the same however keep in mind that the piccolo is an octave higher than the flute. Piccolo doesn't take long to learn if you already play the flute but it takes a little while to get used to the embouchure differences between flute + piccolo. Good luck!

[ihatemattc]

omgg ur amazingy

i have a piccolo solo coming up and i cant play nearly as good as u on piccolo

do u play alto flute or bass flute cause u should try them there fun too

[theHILLSfanx33]

UR AMAZING! i love the piccolo i actually will be playing it in my high school band i hope i become as good as u how long did it take to do it?! like learn it .. i can play flute so it might not take me as long

[fluteragious]

I want that piccolo! Too bad you sold it :( That is okay, we will buy a nice expensive one next week and piss off Dave! LOLOLOL!!!

Hey there are no fuzzy bunnies hopping around in this video :( Only 3 more days!!!!

[Pigglies]

That is really cool! You play beautifully. And I've never seen/heard a wooden piccolo before, but it is very nice.

[Canichenoir]

Man I'd do anything for a Wooden picc...I play a solid silver one and I hate it...Inside it's very hard to control...I would never buy another one with a silver head...I'd only do wood... If anyone knows where I could get a granadilla one under 1000 with no cracks or problems let me know.

[ZJX]

My, my, this is wonderful. Better than anything I play, anyway! haha, what type of wood is this piccolo made of?

[foreverwoodwinds]

Grenadilla-- the standard wood used for 95% of musical instruments!

[clarinette09]

musical woodwinds that is.

[foreverwoodwinds]

Actually, I was referring to when wood was used for any instrument and yes, you're correct.

[clarinette09]

oh no, i wasnt correcting you, i was just putting that out there for the rest of the world. good video, haynes makes good flutes and piccolos i hear.

[108poundcannon]

Not bad btw, I'm sure you would own me on any wind instrument right now *I don't the Piccolo*. :P

Note: Please people, don't stab me for criticizing: I'm offering constructive criticism.

[foreverwoodwinds]

Thanks for the input. As of the improvisation area, I HIGHLY dislike improv. and always have. I was in jazz band in 2002-2003 on alto sax. and refused to do any improvisation then and my opinion has not changed since then on the whole idea.

[108poundcannon]

Why would you copy other music? I don't get that, you should be imaginative when playing music and improvise. :P

I guess not every one thinks the same (not guess, but know; its a common fact). Although, music is more attractive like that. I assume its a big reason behind the many intellectual Jazz enthusiasts.

[achx88e]

Brava, Suzie! I enjoyed the Fire Dance, Carmen, and Amazing Grace. But I have a request. Can you do some of the leit Motifs from Wagner? "Stimme des Waldvogels" ("The Voice of the Forest Bird") and the Siegfried "hunting horn" motif would be wonderful on your wind instruments.

[nickysaxpiccolo]

u seem alot better on flute, or is this just an old vid?

[foreverwoodwinds]

Please note that this is from April lol and thanks. I don't play flute hardly at all anymore and most of my videos are from a few months back when I was playing more. More videos will come soon though!

[JSBHK]

So many pleasant and familiar tunes, thanks! You are great picc player! Nice!

[Ivydpw]

Either you're playing wrong notes, or it's got REALLY bad leaks...

[foreverwoodwinds]

Thanks, Dennis! *sigh* I agree with you though. Will try and keep them coming but got rid of my expensive digital cameras so will have to put sound clips with photograph slideshows until I upgrade my camera again. Until then, I'll be lurking! -Suzie

[wdciii]

YAY SUZIE!! That was quite the medely there. Great to see you again. Now you need to put one up in your new local! -Dennis

[foreverwoodwinds]

I sold it to a guy in Taiwan in April (after I repadded/overhauled it) to put a deposit on my Pearl Dolce Coda lol. Still I wait... Grr! Thanks for the comment! =)

[lietzen]

That piccolo sounds great!
