These tiny tooters are positively thrilling to play - if you can negotiate all the challenges of playing such a short, high pitched instrument. We explore why it is used (mostly for the 2nd Brandenburg Concerto) as well as take a comprehensive tour of the surprising variety of C piccolo trumpets available on the market today - and even take a look at why any higher trumpets, like a D piccolo trumpet, has probably never been made! 👀 --- This video is sponsored by the Vennture Mouthpieces, Inc.
