Wood Piccolo švs Silverš Piccolo
Most professional levelš piccolos šare made fromš wood, but they also have a conical bore. Most metal špiccolos šhave a cylindrical bore.š In the piccolo'sš range, the conical bore imparts a sweeter tone, while the cylindrical bore tends toward a shrill tone.
Theš piccolo šis half the size of aš flute and plays higher notes than the šflute šwith a range an octave above. Itš´s a member of the flute family, but is a well known instrument in its own right. Whilst it may not be as popular as some of its sibling instruments, the Piccolo is an enchanting instrument with an extremely distinct and beautiful sound. It often lends a light, high-pitched sound to musical pieces.
