Hi. After playing flute for a little over 5 years now, and playing the school's piccolo for a couple, I've been looking into buying a good picc of my own finally. I'm thinking of settling with a wooden one because I love the tone and don't play the piccolo outside. I have looked into the Gemeinhardt 4W and Yamaha YPC-62 as possibilities, but I was wondering which one might be a better buy (I'm trying to stay as close to $500-800 as possible although I am aware most wooden picc's go above 1k.) I have played the school's Gemeinhardt 4W for most of the year and have tried out the Yamaha YPC-62, but is there a real difference on either model? Also, is there much difference in whether a piccolo has a bubble headjoint or not?
Any help is appreciated thanks. =)
