Yamaha YPC82 Professional Piccolo

Full Description

A perfect step up

The YPC82 is ready for the highest level if you are. This top-quality Yamaha professional piccolo is handcrafted by accomplished artisans, so you can have complete trust in its construction. You see consideration of professional needs in elements like the ribbed key post-construction. This design allows a more accurate key action. The YPC82 also lets you create clearer sounds on the high E, which can often be an inconsistent note. With the split E mechanism, favoured for professional instruments, the high E is properly vented. 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 YPC82 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 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's 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 YPC82, made entirely of solid silver. With this crucial element made from high-quality sterling silver, you'll have the tonal depth and strong sound projection that comes with this fine metal.p>

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.
