Does anyone know if Herb Alpert played the piccolo trumpet solo on "Fallout Shelter" and other Dore Alpert songs?

Sorry about the additional posts. My computer was playing games with me.Does anyone know if Herb Alpert played the piccolo trumpet solo on "Fallout Shelter" and other Dore Alpert songs?
Could be but I doubt it. Considering Herb didn't even have his own studio yet and was probably didn't have a wealth of fancy recording equipment. I don't know if Herb can play a pic as it is in a different key and has different valve combinations but there weren't many pop recordings that featured pic trumpets so if it wasn't Herb, they would have had to put some effort into finding someone else to play it. Also they used it in several recordings.I wonder if it's just a sped-up recording of Herb's trumpet. It wasn't uncommon to change tape speed to create effects even back then.
