Gemeinhardt Model 4W Piccolo

Comments about Gemeinhardt Model 4W Piccolo:

Have had this model, purchased from music123, for about 6-7 years. Played it during college, in symphony and concert bands. Have played it inside and out. Have played at churches and schools. Always get compliments on tone and how in tune it is [in general, not just for a piccolo!]. Am just now having it repadded for the first time. Great instrument. Worth the $. Only Gemeinhardt I've ever played the high Ab without using the second fingering.

I use the exact same piccolo that my mom bought in high school, and it is this model. Twenty-four years later, it still plays like brand new. I have played on many (many MANY) piccolos, and this one is by far the best. The low notes speak easily and fully, and the high notes are bright without being shrill. The middle range even responds clearly without being fuzzy! As someone else said in their review, vibrato is so easy on this piccolo! Every time I bring it into my "woodwind lady" or anywhere else for a check-up, I get offers to buy it. If you're looking for a piccolo that will last (if you take care of it), plays gorgeously, and is very decently priced, pick this piccolo!

I bought this piccolo a couple months ago from this website and it plays magnificently! The notes just flow right out of it and it mechanism is superb. Also, it is from a trustworthy company, with years of experience. With this piccolo, I was accepted into various orchestras and received great response. Playing the piccolo is different from playing the flute, but this piccolo makes it seem so easy. Its not that hard to get vibrato on this either. Its the professional piccolo with the price of an intermediate! you'll love it.

Has a good sound, but is harder to play than student models
