Frequently Asked Questions

The resin/wood blend provides a softer tone than a purely wooden piccolo, but it's still quite bright and clear, though it may lack some of the complex overtones.
Like many piccolos in this price range, intonation can be slightly variable, especially in the higher registers, and may require some adjustment and practice.
Regular cleaning is crucial to prevent tarnish on the silver plating; occasional lubrication of the mechanism will also ensure smooth action.
