General - Bulgheroni Piccolo
The Bulgheroni firm stands out from others because of its manufacturing processes. The components of the musical instruments are carried out and made exclusively in a laboratory, thus assuring meticulous care and constant quality control of the products from the initial phase of the production to the final product. This process guarantees instruments of very high quality, accompanied by an elegant design and innovative solutions. Bulgheroni chooses only the finest quality tonewoods for their piccolos: Grenadilla from Mozambique and Cocus from the Caribbean, which are carefully selected and seasoned to ensure the unique nature of every instrument. All Bulgheroni piccolos enjoy the following common and standard features:
- handcrafted wood body and head
- standard pitch A=442
- off-set G
- leather case, case cover and cleaning rod
- Straubinger pads
- split E mechanism - assures effortless production of the high E; ideal venting of the toneholes is acheived as the upper G remains open while the lower G closes when the high E is fingered
- choice of headjoint cut
Headjoint Styles
Traditional |
The traditional style is slightly more resistant than the wave which lends itself to a colorful, consistent sound throughout each register. This allows for a sound that is rich and powerful. |
Wave |
This headjoint allows a quick response and a great amount of stability with an extremely focused and clear sound. It projects and allows for a wide dynamic range and clear articulation. |
