Erwin Oesch Piccolo

There have been a good few interesting piccolos on eBay lately and at some point I'll record their passing but first here's one I purchased myself.

It is marked E. Oesch Basel. I paid 45 quid including shipping. I went for it based on the fact. That Peter Worrell is basing his piccolo on a Basel piccolo and I once heard a clip of one with a barrell embouchure. I thought it sounded good.

It's not in my hands yet but even the pads look good based on the photos. According to the description it's a wooden head with a plastic body. It looks brand new.

Looking forward to its arrival. eBay still has it's surprises.
