Hello fellow flute players!
I'm new here, and sorta fresh to the "piccolo world". I've been playing for about 2 years and going to be a senior in high school. I'll get straight to the point and skip the intro. I was wondering how good emerson's are, because I ordered a Gem. 4s I believe and it was a nightmare for me to play. The embrochure hole was square as apposed to my armstrong which is more round. The moral of the story was that I could hardly hit notes in the third octave and was horrible to tune (granted I think it was my adjustment to the lip plate). I'm used to playing on an entirely plastic armstrong piccolo and the transition for me was bad. I could hardly play the stars and stripes solo on it.
So back to the point lol, can you guys give me your opinions on the emerson p3 piccolo. This is going to be my marching instrument and I'll keep my armstrong for concert and solo performances
