Hello!

Hey everyone! This is the blog of flutes and their lovers! Me being a big band geek, I thought this would be the perfect blog. I can give advice on how to fix a flute, how much they cost, the different types, and if you're a band director, where to find some good sheet music. Welcome! :)

The Piccolo

This is the highest Woodwind instrument in any band or orchestra. It is of cylindrical bore, and fitted with Boehm-system keywork. It is pitched one octave higher than the Concert Flute. The range on the Piccolo shoots from the D above middle C to three octaves above it. It was created in the 18th century as a replacement for the Flageolet.
