Common Questions About the Haynes Amadeus AP86W
What distinguishes the AP86W from the AP86T?
The AP86W uses Haynes's wave-style grenadilla headjoint, while the AP86T uses the traditional-style headjoint. Both share a grenadilla body and headjoint, silver-plated keywork, a split E mechanism, and the Haynes A=442 scale.
What does the split E mechanism contribute?
A split E mechanism is designed to improve the response and stability of the third-octave E, an important consideration in exposed piccolo writing.
Where does the AP86W fit within the Haynes piccolo lineup?
The AP86W belongs to the Amadeus series and provides grenadilla construction with silver-plated keywork. Haynes's separate Q Series adds features such as sterling silver keywork and a high G# mechanism for players seeking a different professional configuration.
