Wave cut headjoint
The Yamaha YPC62R piccolo has a unique style of headjoint which provides a much better response and feel to the instrument. As well as this, a more musical performance can be had by the increased dynamic range. The headjoint highlights an extensively detailed and rich tone even in quiet passages through the range of notes.
