Piccolo Basics
The piccolo is the smallest commonly-used wind instrument, half the size of a standard flute with a sound that's twice as high. The piccolo is laid out very similarly to a flute, making it fairly simple for an experienced flute player to start playing piccolo right away. However, the piccolo is generally NOT as easy for an absolute beginner to start playing on - despite its small size, it's not generally a good choice for a first instrument.
Most modern Piccolos are in the key of C, which means the notes the player reads off the music sound the same as a piano. They can be made out of metal, a plastic/resin material, or wood. Piccolo players often get very fun parts to play in the band, such as the famous and recognizable solo in The Star Spangled Banner.
