@darkpalad777 completely true. especially since piccolo requires so much air in the first place.
-
@fliboi78 I've heard that raising one's eyebrows while playing the flute or piccolo tightens the lower embouchure. That makes playing higher notes easier, which is pretty much all a piccolo plays. So I've heard anyway. :D

In regards to 2:16, well Mercury IS a trickster 8)

@Moconnor834 At 0:17 you can see there are two harpists, one man and one woman.
-
@jjmm47 I cant hear it!?! lol and the harpist is a guy... :P
-
Alright I see now, I remember hearing harps alone for another part, but maybe it was because I played a wind orchestra transcription.
-
@theothercanadian yeah thats the best part about it! it sounds really cool even though it's not right. compare it to other recordings.
-
@jjmm47 Have you compared it to a score? I'm not quite convinced.
