I happen to like the piccolo....I think it goes back to marching band (in my youth, in college, I got $50 for marching in local parades with a community band every Sunday). Marching with a piccolo seemed the best choice for instrument to carry 2 miles in heat and humidity (certainly better choice th...

Please close: found what I was looking for.

Judging the age, probably too late to contribute...if a lister posts in a forest and no one is around to read, does it make a sound? I happen to have a Miller Wickes 6 key Bflat piccolo. Grenadilla wood, with keys placed as on larger (and smaller) cousins. When I purchased it, I was interested in th...
