Broiles - Tower Calls No. 1

If you have piccolo chops, you should check out Mr. Broiles' "Tower Calls". They are absolutely fantastic. There is a video of him playing this first call on A piccolo here on YouTube. Just search for Mel Broiles and you'll find it. It is out of this world!

What are the dimensions of your mouthpiece?

@wannaborski I use a Bach 7D for all of my picc playing.

Sounds amazing! What kind of piccolo do you play on? I play a Kanstul, and the Bb side isn't too happenin'. The A side is ok though.

@eugeneragistanac Thank you. I play a Yamaha picc.

[OrchTrump]

@junkyman2 Thank you. There are 15 calls in the book and I've got a couple of weeks before real life starts up again. I'm going to try and get more videos posted.
