I've been a piccolo player since middle school and I will be a music major next year in college. I'm going in on oboe, but it's required to be in Marching band so I have to play the piccolo.
I used to play my band director's solid silver Gemeinhardt 4SHS, but I had to give it back when I graduated.
My father bought me the same brand, solid silver all throughout, but this one has white gold springs and stuff. My problem is, I'm not sure if it's the lip plate I can't get used to or what...I can't get the Airyness out of my sound as I could my other one. I've been playing it for hours every day to prepare myself for march camp during the last week of August. I don't want to go in and have everyone think I'm bad.
How do I make the sound better?
