From Tuba to Piccolo Trumpet (and back...!) Jimmy the Lip

another bit of fun! what looks quite tricky is actually straightforward - it's air speed that matters, the embouchure just works on a different frequency.

The tuba is Besson Sovereign EEb with a Kelly 24AW and the A. Piccolo is a Kanstul with a Vincent Bach "6" mouthpiece.

If you don't believe this is possible - come to one of our gigs...

great! but whats with the colourful mouthpieces?

[orichalcum1]

@heybuddyheybuddy - Thanks. in my concerts I make instant changes between several instruments very quickly, this would be impossible without the KELLYs... check out my movie BRASSED UP! CONCERT FOR KIDS... thanks for the positive comment - have a look on the Kelly Mouthpiece website... cheers - JS

Hmm...doubling is always fun, but I think my head would explode going from EEb to a goofy key like A.

[orichalcum1]

@Markworth - it's not as difficult as you'd think Mark....

A better pic player than tuba.

[orichalcum1]

@jojomusic69 - well spotted JoJo... and that's why I play the trumpet for a living and the tuba just for fun.... keep those comments coming....

Oh! Dear! Nice Man! Nice Idea, but emboucher from one to the other suffers, hence not best sound on either. But Nice! Possibly worth doing!
