The piccolo is a half-size flute that belongs to the woodwind family of instruments. It is a tiny transverse (horizontal) flute with a conical or cylindrical bore and Boehm-system keywork. The modern piccolo has the same fingerings as the traditional transverse flute, creating an octave higher sound.
The piccolo musician is called the assistant principal in orchestras. The larger orchestras have categorized this post as a solo role. Piccolos are frequently used to double violins or flutes, giving sparkle and brightness to the overall sound due to the one-octave transposition upwards. The piccolo is often used in concert band situations.
Piccolos, formerly made of wood, glass, or ivory, are now constructed of plastic, resin, brass, nickel silver, silver, and various hardwoods, most often grenadilla. Finely crafted piccolos, like flutes, are frequently offered with several choices, such as the split-E mechanism. Most piccolos feature a conical body with a cylinder head, similar to the Baroque and subsequent flutes until the Boehm bore became common in modern flutes.
The piccolo has the highest pitch of any woodwind instrument used in military bands and orchestras, making it stand out. It isn't easy to achieve proper intonation with the piccolo. It requires far greater lip control than many woodwind instruments. Controlling the high pitches takes additional work and practice. Students who are in remote areas can also learn piccolo classes online.
