Looking for some history on 2 valve piccolo sopranos


Recommended Posts

SoCal Dream used one in 2005 for the "whistling" parts of Kill Bill.

Here's a picture of a very big man with a very little . . . um, er . . . horn:

But, it was the Velvet Knights in 1976 that introduced the two-valve prototype:

Yep that's one of them, just wondering how many were made

I believe Frank Ponzo of the Cabs used one in '95 in the solo in Malaguena.

Freelancers used one in 1990 or 1991 (maybe both years?).

Vanguard 78

Also '81 & '82 during "Slava"

Cant answer your question as to how many, but the one I used for Dream is a Dynasty with tuneable bell. Not enough adjustment to get the pitch down though.

Just a tid bit for you, I saw one go for $1,150 on Ebay about 6 months ago.

Perhaps a serial number comparison could help. Mine has D E G each in a circle above Dynasty in the bell hallmark and the serial number is 693X X is a number. I thought someone told me the Cavies used them once many moons ago. Maybe not.

Oh....and I was also told that someone used them with a white porcelain coating on the inside of the bell too.

Yuk!

I guess I'm the only one with one of each! Darn I have alot of toys :)
