Jazz musicians: piccolo trumpet
13 jazz musicians in the atlas play piccolo trumpet, including Don Cherry, Andrea Motis, Andrzej Przybielski, Franco Ambrosetti and Eddie Rosner. Open a profile for dates, discography and line-ups.
The piccolo trumpet is the smallest member of the trumpet family, pitched one octave higher than the standard B♭ trumpet. Most piccolo trumpets are built to play in either B♭ or A, using a separate leadpipe for each key. The tubing in the B♭ piccolo trumpet is one-half the length of that in a standard B♭ trumpet. Piccolo trumpets in G, F, and even high C are also manufactured, but are rarer. The piccolo trumpet should not be confused with the pocket trumpet, which plays in the same pitch as the regular B♭ trumpet.
