DescriptionThis wood, black piccolo flute features six finger holes and includes small brass sections on either side. Initially created for military bands to make parts of the flute more distinguished, the piccolo gained popularity during the eighteenth century to the early nineteenth century and was typically used in orchestras and military bands, contributing to the musical groups with its high-pitched sound.On View
