Piccolos

Buying a piccolo requires an instrument that suits the player and its musical application. The piccolo is the smallest instrument in the flute family and, due to its high register, has a distinctive role in symphony orchestras and wind orchestras. The instrument is used to add brightness and extra colour to the music, often in combination with other woodwind instruments and strings.

The piccolo department at Adams Flute Centre brings together a range of instruments, components and services. This category includes new and used piccolos, separate piccolo headjoints and accessories for transport, maintenance and everyday use. This page therefore provides a starting point for players looking for their first piccolo, wishing to change to another instrument or wanting to combine their current piccolo with a different headjoint.

Piccolos and headjoints can be compared by appointment with guidance from a flute specialist. Playing and listening to different combinations gives you a clearer idea of the sound and response that suit you. The in-house repair department also provides maintenance, repairs and overhauls for piccolos.
