Yes, Ron Peeler usually does send a fingering chart.

Fife fingering is not the same as a flute.
Also, tonguing is required

Musique Morneaux makes a nice wooden piccolo http://musiquemorneaux.com/contemporary-fifes/ (scroll down to the bottom). Jos. took over the shop after Ralph Sweet's passing. I don't know how the prices compare with the others that have been mentioned but the Morneaux instrument plays very nicely fo...

Nice video, I enjoyed it.

Where does the time go...1984

My Skip Healy flute packs some serious volume.

A sad story indeed.

I have heard of this when it comes to Highland Bagpipes. It changes the instrument.

This is an Aluminum keyless Piccolo in D made by Boyd Flutes.

Its a very well made and bright sounding instrument,

I am reluctantly looking to sell my Healy Keyless D flute.

It was made in 2000 and constructed of Blackwood and silver. This is a very well made instrument and has a robust sound.

The flute comes with a beautiful hard sided case.

Please contact me for details and photos.
Thanks

Hi Steve, I play key less simple system Piccolo. Jos Morneaux makes an awesome Irish Piccolo. I have one.

Solen Leosouef . An added advantage to her nicely done keywork is that the Eb key can be removed and used as a bottle cap opener. https://i.postimg.cc/wvwzQBr6/Cflute-detail-crop.png Best wishes. Steve A bottle cap opener can be a real important feature! I see it. Beautiful flute for sure.

Interesting thought.

We're experiencing a bit of a heat wave now and I feel that my instruments like the warmer temperatures and humidity but not the direct sunlight.

Nice music link, I had a listen.

If anyone has a Worrell key-less piccolo that is not being played, i would be interested.

Preferred instrument, Black-wood and key-less.

Thank you
Tom

I have come to the same conclusion, really difficult to get a proper sound. Very pretty to look at, though.
