Yamaha YPC-62 Piccolo anyone?

[Kareeser]

My friend is interested in buying a piccolo to replace her old piccolo (which is slightly broken)...

She expressed interest in the YPC-62.. does anybody here have any experience with that piccolo?

Of all the models of piccolo available, this is probably the most universally regarded as outstanding value for money.

It plays well. It is very well designed and manufactured. Its tuning is good. It is very reliable, and it is easy to service.

It was Yamaha's top professional model for quite some time, and is good enough to remain still as a current model.

I've been very happy with mine for a long time.

Second the last post. The YPC 62 is a very good picc for the money. There are sometimes good deals for this piccolo on eBay - both new and used. A used one in good shape would be worth considering.
