The Piccolo Trumpet - Czardas 

I wish instruments were cheaper

This guy picks up any brass instrument and sounds good at least decent on all the instrument he plays. From tuba to piccolo trumpet.

For the trumpet not being your main instrument, you did alright. The piccolo trumpet is a little beast...

"I'm not much of a trumpet player" TRENT IF YOU DONT STOP THOSE LIES THIS INSTANT

*Plays piece almost perfectly* "I'm not really much of a trumpet player" Man your modesty alone should grant you a lot more subscribers than you have Keep it up!!

sooo... you play trombone in treble clef and trumpet in bass clef....

Is it just me or does he play the piccolo trumpet a lot better than Bb ?

I am frankly pissed. you are the king of the music genre on youtube yet you only manage to achieve 7,000 subscribers. I feel that your knowledge of the instruments on its own should get you at least 2,000,000 subscribers. Im rambling here, but i want you to know that you have my upmost respect and that you are truly the king of music on youtube.

Flute: Ffs why do you play Ab?? plays Ab Clarinet/Oboe: woodwinds are better than brass! squeaks Sax: plays careless whisper Bassoon: assembles instrument quicker than a trumpet Bass clarinet: when there's a bass part, 1 Bass CL equals the loudness of 6 low brass players Trumpet: I'm better than you Fhorn: I used to play that! Trombone: plays fortissississimo whole notes Euphonium: when my teacher calls it a baritone I cringe, when my classmates call it a tuba I start getting angry, when my mom calls it a trumpet I cry Tuba: hi

Penny lane is in my ears and in my eyes...

Trent, Im really enjoying the constant uploads recently! Keep it up!

Out of curiosity how does your cornet/trumpet upper range translate to this? So lets say I am reasonably fine playing top C on cornet, roughly what do you think I could expect to hit when using piccolo?

"I'm not much of a trumpet player" he says. Ridiculous.

An octave higher than a trumpet!?! This thing should be called the headache horn!

When Trent forgets to oil his valves when showing off an instrument

How can you afford so many instruments?

Awesome videos dude! What part of NZ are you from? I'm also from NZ (Bay of Plenty)

What brand of piccolo trumpet are you using

Holy the sound of the piccolo compared to the regular trumpet is outstanding. Beautiful vibrato by the way

Is that trumpet is the fake Stradivarius you made a video about?

And clarinets say their instruments are harder to play!😂

I mean, maybe he isn't much of a trumpet player. He lacks the stereotypical ego after all.

how did I get here, I don't even play brass

During my music summer school in the early-to-mid 1970s, at one point one of the band directors, a trumpeter, called out to whomever might be listening: "some people say the piccolo trumpet is hard to play. That's not true at all: IT'S DAMNED NEAR IMPOSSIBLE,"

What was the name of the first song he played? I want to learn it

Would it be possible for you to provide a link to where to purchase the horn? My interest has certainly be peaked, and I would rather appreciate the information. Thanks!

Why does it have a pinky ring if your pinky is used for the fourth valve

I bought a piccolo trumpet, and indded with the standard mouthpieces it does not play easier the higher octave Bb4-Bb5 compared to the standard trumpet . BUT then I realized that the fault is in the mouthpieces and I bought small mouthpieces of 11mm-14,4.mm diameter from resin or acorn that are normally used for wooden cornetti musical instruments , AND THE MIRACLE HAPPENED ! Playing the Bb4-Bb5 octave became almost as easy as playing the Bb3-Bb4 octave in the standard trumpet.

May I ask you how you mastered all brass instruments and the history of every single one?

You playing the piccolo trumpet sounds much better than the orginal trumpet. You playing the piccolo trumpet sounds beautiful. I love it.

Are you sure that's a Bb picc? Sounds more like an A picc to me

You sounded great for this not being your primary.

His accent reminds me of Korg from Thor lol

dam, am I the only percussionist here?!

how about the pocket trumpet i think its smaller

Your candor is so refreshing! Also, I love the regular references you make as to how everything refers back to euphoniums.

do be honest i actually liked your playing on the piccolo trumpet a little better than the original trumpet. You should working on learning it some more! I would like to hear more of this instrument.

Am I the only trumpet player who gets pissed when a clarinet or a woodwind says "the trumpet is easy it only has 3 buttons". My response: it's called valve and second it has many different combination and you have to play high low and medium

"I'm not much of a trumpet player" Me: OH SHUT UP THAT WAS AMAZING!!

Although rare, the smallest practical trumpet is actually the C piccolo.

loving these frequent Vids Trent! Keep it up my friend =)))))

Hahahaha minute 1:11 :D

Thank you, Trent of 8 years ago, for this video. I ordered a piccolo trumpet and hope to get it next week. I searched for a video of yours in order to find out the interval by which the fourth valve lowers the pitch, and you came through. A minor quibble is that this instrument did not exist in the Baroque era and the high trumpet parts were played on much longer natural instruments (without valves). "Tromba" and "clarino" were, in fact, the same instrument, but played in different registers with respect to its harmonic series. They came in different sizes, but I'm pretty sure never in such a small size. For various reasons, the clarino went out of fashion. The clarinet was developed as a replacement, hence the name. Piccolo trumpets are often called "Bach trumpets" but this is a misnomer, since they have absolutely nothing to do with Bach. I wouldn't say it's exactly an abomination to use them in a performance of Baroque music, especially if other modern instruments are being used, but I think original instruments would be preferable. Unfortunately, that's not always so easy.

in the late 80s i bought a new getzen 3 valve capri piccilo trumpet and a capri flugel horn on a combo special purchase. i was well satisfied with both but i found i could play my old severinsen getzen easier in the same high range by changing the mouthpiece and tuning slide so i traded the piccolo trumpet off. i lived in a big college town so selling it was no problem.if i had bought a 4 valve piccolo trumpet i might have kept it.. my experience is if you dont have a high range with a full size trumpet you wont have one with a piccolo trumpet either. i found the regular sized trumpet was easier to play in that high range so that wqas a supprize to me.

“Not much of a trumpet player” .... proceeds to play a high G above top c and squeal out an A and plays everything else prior with a great sound.

It scares me that some of these notes sound like an Oboe

you have such an awesome channel, I play a Bb trumpet and I could learn much from your channel. 1+ subscriber

I love these videos.. I am a trumpeter myself.

Is it hard to play? Like compared to a trumpet?? Does it have a similar mouthpiece? Like do u know the size of there is one? The mouthpiece I use is a jazz one which is 11B4 but I also have a 7c-

Plays Czardas pretty much perfectly, then says "I'm not really much of a trumpet player"... These lies have to stop!

"It's like the end of a clarinet" -- dude... where do you find those giant bell clarinets!?!

Piccolo trumpet 's .i see .sound ok .but,....to me .i said , b flat , i like .both piccolo , trumpet .sound great ....i plays .

why do I keep watching these videos, I don't even care about trumpets lol

I'm thinking of getting a Piccolo trumpet.... been playing for years and I tap out two or three whole steps above where the fingering chart ends at high F. I've reached the conclusion, yes I can play that high but the notes might never be useful. On my B-flat trumpet the high E, the third note in series to be played open, is arguably the last useful note. (That high F at the end of the carnival of Venice is perfectly doable) But the high G above that, again played open, is just way to airy to be useful. Maybe it's just me. idk thoughts? I also have a C trumpet, something I picked up because I got tired of running into flutes and pianos in the key of C... that thing taps out at the high E. (It's a generic Chinese Trumpet knock off) It can play high F but hitting the high F/G (One octave above the last bar-line) on it are like hitting a strike in bowling, in that your lips and air are just right.

Cute! ♡♡♡

If you want to hear truely superb picolo trumpet playing, listen to Mathias Hoffs ( German Brass ).

I mostley watch these videos to hear what these instraments sound like. Lol

I have a crap Trumpet that I hire cause I don't have the money to buy all this wonderful stuff. Still is ok but I new one would be amazing. When did you start learning?

Penny lane. I play trombone. I carry a pocket trumpet. They wrote penny lane because they were introduced to the movie said pocket trumpet. They meant piccolo trumpet. Some of that stuff you played there sounded great. I play with love but I can't read trumpet music to save a life.

The bottom pedal note is a sounding(concert) G, and your (in trumpet notes) Bb is very flat.

Wait is it necessary To have 4 valves on the Piccolo trumpet? Because I need to figure out the emboshure plz tell me.

I lost it at 6:59

your better than me. lol. I think piccolo trumpet would be fun to play. I bet it would be hard though...

Sir, you never have to say that you are sorry. It is always a pleasure to watch you and to learn from you.

If I’ve got some extra money, should I get a flugelhorn or a piccolo trumpet?

"Im not much of a trumpet player" plays fucking czardas

how do you get a piccolo trumpet with out spending 4,000 dollars?

My Third valve in my b flat trumpet is as well behaved as your fourth valve!

they also come in C, and there are also the herald trumps, and several variations of the Clarino trumpet/

Why didn’t you compare size with the pocket trumpet?!?!

I am actually getting a piccolo trumpet soon. Any tips on playing that you could give me?

My band directors own a piccolo trumpet and a e flat trumpet

Nothing quite like a Trumpet and a Conga on the Beach.

I caught a Piccolo playing Pokemon Go the other day.

Hello Trent. I played my middle school and I have a very big interest in the trumpet. And I was looking for a Piccolo trumpet in the key of B-flat but I’m not sure which one to buy. You’re probably not gonna see this Comment but if you do would you be able to reply and tell me the best place to go to to get one. Because I watch one of your videos and you got a normal trumpet for around 80 bucks and I’m not sure if I could get a decent pickle trumpet for a lower price. Because I see a bunch of professional ones that are in the thousands of dollars so I was wondering if you would be able to help me out if you see this thank you very much and please help me out.

You are Better than me,you are playing that piccolo well.

Hope you weren't affected terribly by the quake.

I like being a trumpet player, good job though.

Is that the knockoff Strad trumpet in the back? :O

Why does it have a pinky hook if you have to use four fingers for four valves?
