Piccolo
The piccolo is a wind instrument in the woodwind family. It is a small oboe with a curved metal tube and a cone-shaped bell. It is usually tuned in C or B flat. The piccolo produces a high-pitched and piercing sound, which is often used to add color and brilliance to the orchestra. It is also used in military music and marching bands. The piccolo is a demanding instrument that requires good playing technique and mastery of the embouchure. It is often played by flutists, as it is similar to the flute but with a higher range.
