RE: What piccolo for a doubler?

For the sake of reliability of pad seating it is important that pads are significantly larger in diameter than than the tone holes. Close to the edge, pads are not flat, so seating here is unreliable. Small diameter pads is a design fault for many piccolos.

On some piccolos linkage adjustmetns can be easily made by slight bending of linkage "tabs". But on some adjustment work will take about 50 times longer because linkage parts cannot be bent.

I suggested Yamaha for servicing and reliability reasons as well as tuning, tone and ease of playing.
