Piccolo

I just acquired a pearl piccolo from the county music service, and have managed to get a pure enough tone to play 'British Grenadiers' and 'The Stars and Stripes Forever'. I am so vainly chuffed.

You should play some Shostakovich.

I should, but it's hard.

Building the pyramids was hard too.

I had to sit in front of the piccolos one year in orchestra. My hearing will never recover.
