The piccolo is an instrument that belongs to the family of the Flute. Also called Piccolo. This name comes from Italian, which means small flute piccolo FLAUTO.
The Piccolo is like a flute but with a smaller size, about 30 centimeters. It consists of a cylindrical tube closed at one end (where the mouth) and the other end open. You can build all-metal, with wooden body and the mouth of all wood or metal.
mode of playing the piccolo is very similar to play the flute, but when you touch it must be borne in mind that it sounds an octave higher than the flute. That is why the Piccolo is a transposing instrument, as the notes played with the piccolo is written on the staff an octave lower than it actually sounds.
is the instrument of the orchestra that emits sounds sharper. That is why his tone is very penetrating and can hear perfectly still when the whole orchestra is playing. However, the Piccolo can also make sounds delicate and quiet. During
nineteenth century extends the use of piccolo to opera orchestras and symphonic music, so today we find regularly in orchestras, bands in music, marching bands, etc..
