Amazon musical instruments are for beginners, students, practice and recreation. Pro performances need pro made musical instruments.

[@alanguages]

@AJ Kalvelage The average student along with their parents won't be spending $3000 on an instrument, which the student might or might not continue in their musical education. Especially, if it is the first instrument of the student.

It sounds like a fair Piccolo for the money, but clearly your's sounds so much nicer. The question is, does it sound over 3 grand better? Probably not for most players, unless they are professionals or a student at a higher level....that also has the money to invest in their instrument.

[@PeterMasalski93]

As a general rule for musical instruments, buy a cheap one until you get good.. you shouldn't even think about an expensive instrument until you covered your scales and practiced hundreds of songs..

[@ShadamAran]

I disagree. Get a cheap one til you're sure you want to commit, but a quality instrument will be way easier and more enjoyable to play, ultimately nicer ones will keep you in the practice room longer than cheaps with problems. I know hundreds of great musicians,, and the only ones that know "hundreds" of songs are retired

[@ShadamAran]

@Rita Cardinal fr. Being a musician is a lifetime commitment. You might as well get the nicest one you can afford once you get some basics down. My friends family has a tradition, they go in blindfolded to pick their new instrument so you aren't influenced by brand or tone or looks. All that really matters is sound and feel. that's how I picked my first bass after playing nearly every bass in the store. I immediately knew it was the one I wanted from the first note I played.

[@danhyde2656]

unless learning harmonica

[@thestevenorman]

Peter M the thing is that with any instrument, a beginner needs to get it checked out by a repair tech or an instructor. This video is a perfect example. A beginner piccolo player probably would have thought his or her playing sucked because they couldn’t get a solid tone. Amelie immediately was able to identify the problem as a leak in the right hand and also that it was likely a leak that might resolve itself once the pads are broken in. The more professional instruments are play tested thoroughly before they go out, packed securely in a padded case that will last as long as the instrument. Still a beginner especially would need to get this instrument checked out because it may have been jostled during shipping or set up incorrectly. Also, a beginner won’t know what to expect from their instruments. When I first got started,i played on a flute that my friend gave me for years thinking that I couldn’t achieve a good sound. My tone was airy. I finally decided to take lessons to improve my sound and the instructor told me almost immediately that I had leaks and they were causing the airy tone. Also cheaply made instruments may play fine for a short time, and then have problems appear. My repairman always tells me about these cheap instruments that come in and the repair costs more than the instrument is worth. If problems gradually appear, the beginning student is likely going to think that their technique is deteriorating instead of thinking that it may be problems with the instrument. I always tell my sax students to get an inexpensive pre-owned horn from a reputable brand and dealer and get it checked out by a repair tech. This is just until they are sure it’s something they want to play. After that I tell them to sell it because they can get close to what they paid for it. Then buy a quality horn.

[@Hanna1968]

You shouldn't by any instrument. You can lend nearly any instrument in good quality, especially if you book a teacher. If you start with a crap instrument, you will loose your joy for music very fast. Of course there can be usable budget instruments (as this one in the video) but most are a pain in the ass -and in the ears.

I don't think I'd play the Eastar long term in a concert band or in an orchestral setting, but for $99 it's not bad. Would make for a good outdoors/travel piccolo or those occasions when the director wants everyone in the section to play the Star and Stripes solo on piccolo. So I think it would be better for the more occasional piccolo player on a tight budget. Our piccolos are siblings. I currently play on a Yamaha 82 piccolo with a Mancke headjoint. :)

[@hypernova3527]

Undoublty, the Yamaha makes a much cleaner sound. The Eastar would be great for begginers and for taking the beating you dont want your good piccolo to take.

[@dncviorel]

That's such a bad move. If you want to discourage a beginner give him a garbage instrument and he's going to quit fast, specially if he's a kid. :)))

[@Undomaranel]

@@dncviorel This Eastar is hardly "garbage". Besides the leak it seems like a great starter or marching piccolo, especially for an experienced student flautist who isn't sure they want to commit yet. "Garbage" would be a completely broken down instrument, not merely lower quality. Besides, I wouldn't trust any high schooler with a $3k piccolo in the bleachers. $100 go nuts, not the end of the music department if that one's dropped. Pep band isn't exactly instrument friendly, and getting a decent horn for an amazing price is a great way to introduce players.

I work at a music store (Music & Arts), and we recommend to NEVER buy off amazon because if they get broken (things get broken a lot more as a beginner) the shop has a really hard time finding the parts to fix it and sometimes they can’t even fix at all. So I would not recommend that for a beginner, but for someone just wanting to play around on it. But even then, you would have to buy a new one every time it breaks.

The tone clarity is much better on yours, of course. The amount of force required to get a good tone is a lot less on your pro model. It rang in my ears more and it was a lot less wispy-windy sounding. A cheaper model is best, like you said, for marching bands and for schools who need piccolos but are on a tight budget. Good video!

Both sound good because of the musician behind them, but the note rolls sound smoother and less harsh and the sustained notes sound less piercing on the $3000 piccolo.

Thanks for this comparison! My daughter is fascinated by the piccolo and I got this for her 11th birthday yesterday. She loves it and started playing "Jingle Bells" and creating her own tunes. For some reason, she prefers it to the flute primarily because of the size and sound. It does have a nice tone. But my understanding is both should be practiced together, correct? Would love to see more videos on piccolo for beginners. There doesn't seem to be much material/tutorials out there on piccolos.

Most folks start on flute and only play piccolo part time in concert band and full time in marching band. Piccolo is harder to play. It plays an octave higher and requires strong breath support and better lip control.

[@breakfastplan4518]

The 3000$ piccolo sounds 'Broken in' - And the 99$ piccolo sounds 'to be broken in and in need of regulation' - Would love for you to revisit this after breaking it in for a while. One thing I will say is that there is a unique dark, yet very warm tone palette you can achieve with a wooden piccolo that you simply cant come close to on a metal piccolo.

You might want to rent one from a music store for a month or two before commiting to buy one.

Some people domt end up liking piccolo at all, so that would be my recommendation. If you do enjoy it, then you can buy a decent one.

[@JulietRobin]

I listened to both. Yours sounded warmer, mellow and clean and haunting in a nice way. I think if a less advanced student played the cheaper one it would not have sounded as good as when you played.

She recommended that if I were to get one, I should get a cheap one off of Amazon as I did with my flute for the time being and once I get to high school or after that, I should look into more expensive ones. Earlier today my mom bought this exact piccolo for me and it is funny I should stumble across this video.

Wonderful review. Thank you.

[@flutechannel]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rowyyo]

lol the editing is so funny. I honestly wasn’t expecting that

[@flutechannel]

Really happy you liked it! I really love making these! thanks so much for watching!

[@ataparag232]

the expensive one sounds whole and doesnt sound too airy unlike the cheap one

[@juaneato]

Spot on intonation and overtones in the expensive one.

[@nefritee8614]

I love how like calm and some what professional like it is And then the editing and little edit comments are so funny and not professional

[@Itsme-bv1pr]

I didn’t see the title and I thought it was $99 vs $3 flute and I was like “is 99$ your max budget? Is the channel going through tough times?l”

[@flutechannel]

Nah all good here!

[@yannick-tripleocarina6960]

Would you try a ocarina Alto C to make a comparaison video ?

[@-quantomwraith-9393]

I played the flute and i really enjoyed it and i was the best in my class till my finger started to do stuff where my nerves got crazy and started to pop out so i was forced to quit band :,( and i never applied to being a flute player and yet I seemed to enjoy it and also being the ONLY guys in any concert makes me feel proud 😎😎

[@frostbite2094]

I have been wanting to get a piccolo for awhile since my schools band only has two and I am likely to not play it til my senior year due to wonderful upperclassmen and I think this will be the piccolo that might convince my mother considering it’s price and that this video proves it isn’t a waste of money on something that will just break the next day. So thank you.

[@frostbite2094]

Thanks so much for the video she is buying it now!!!!

[@flutechannel]

Great to hear! Happy practicing!

[@frostbite2094]

The Flute Channel I have been playing it and I am just so happy. Thank you for making this video or would never have gotten the chance to play the piccolo.

[@frostbite2094]

The Flute Channel Oh and you weren’t kidding about the condensation.

I was very interested in two musical instruments growing up, the violin and the piccolo. My dad wanted us to get into music but he basically said, anything but those until you move out. You see...my dad has abnormally good hearing, the high notes of those instruments hurt his head.

Wtf is a fingering chart?”? 👏It👏Was👏A👏Joke👏Btw👏

[@P4boot]

Lol music community really should find an alternative word for that... My dirty mind always can't help it 😂. BTW what am I doing watching a piccolo review??! 😂

[@amidala3927]

The cheap one sounds like it's leaking. It's got a very fluffy sound, especially in the lower register when you're not blowing as hard, or when more tone holes are closed. Trying to learn good tone on it would drive me crazy. Thanks for saving me the time and money playing around with an Amazon find.

[@ncgolden3795]

I'm interested in the Amazon one but I have to say, I like the tone better of the one that you own. For only 100 though pretty nice!
