Hello all
I just purchased a Yamaha YPC-61 piccolo on eBay and would like to know how well suited this type of piccolo is for playing Irish music. Any thoughts?

Re: Irish trad on a modern piccolo
Of course! You can play any music you want on a piccolo. It's more about the style than the instrument. However, if you want to play Irish music in a more traditional manner, buy yourself a tin whistle ($5-$10).

Congratulations Christine. YPC61 is a great instrument. It is wood is it not?

Yes I have a Burke whistle but it's only in one key.

Yes it's wood. I think it's the model that was replaced by the 62.flutego12 wrote:Congratulations Christine. YPC61 is a great instrument. It is wood is it not?
