Yamaha YPC62M Professional Piccolo

Full Description

A perfect step up

The YPC62M is ready for the next stage if you are. Yamaha's professional models have all the design features needed by musicians at the top of their game. In this professional piccolo, you see this in elements like the ribbed key post-construction, letting you hit every note with clarity, as this design allows a more accurate key action. This piccolo also lets you create clearer sounds on what can often be an inconsistent note, the high E. That's because the YPC62M has a split E mechanism, which is favoured for professional instruments, to properly vent the high E. Relax as this becomes a clear and more responsive note.

Make every part of playing smoother with this piccolo. Mechanisms are crucial to performance and the YPC62M professional has well-spaced keywork for comfort whilst you play. These keys are durable, made from nickel silver, and will shine and stand the test of time with a silver plating. This makes them easy to polish with only a cloth. As well as playing in comfort, you'll also be in tune thanks to the technique of undercut tone holes. The shaping that this method achieves prevents you from playing slightly above or below the note more effectively.

Precious metals

Enjoy fine materials in the crucial headjoint. The headjoint is the so-called voicebox of a piccolo, and its make-up is one of the key factors in an instrument's tone. You can rest assured that you get the best with the Yamaha YPC62M, made up of nickel silver with a solid silver riser. The riser gives the embouchure hole its depth, so solid silver provides a richer tone colour from this crucial component. Combined with the nickel silver headjoint, you'll get a sound with a full range of subtle complexities. These quality metals are well-constructed in a wave-cut, a shape known for providing performance power and allowing true dynamic nuances.

Seasoned Grenadilla body

Create the warmth you can only get with quality wood. Grenadilla is considered the best choice by professionals, and with Yamaha's seasoned Grenadilla you get the ideal tone. This exceptional sound-quality is released to its full potential thanks to the conical bore. Its gradually narrowing shape allows for the optimum intonation, keeping you in tune across its full range of pitch. Enjoy the quality music you can make with the finest woods.
