Continuing our concept of tone and color from our handmade flutes, our Custom Piccolos are known for depth and richness. Their dark sound blends effortlessly with the other members of the woodwind family, as well as the most ethereal upper string section sound.

Handmade Custom Piccolo
Sought after by orchestral and solo musicians, each piccolo is hand-tuned and features phenolic tone hole inserts. These tone hole inserts provide an air tight surface for the pad to sit on, which does not deteriorate over time. Available with Sterling Silver or 14K Rose Gold mechanism, you can choose from three different headjoint styles: Classic, Profiled, and Wave.
