The piccolo is said to have 22k gold in the design, so I was expecting something really nice to look at, at least. There was absolutely NO 22k gold in the design anywhere and the design itself was something you would think to see on a child's toy.. Which is more what this piccolo looks like. It is not attractive in any way, so I returned it immediately. Along with that, "I played the flute for 4 years", this instrument was not comfortable to hold and try to play. It should have been a plastic toy, that is what it looks like and feels like in your hands. If it had not have been glass, I would have given it to a neighbors child.

this was bought because i thought it would be nice to play at the renaissance festival. it now sits in its box doing nothing because i was told i couldnt return it. it doesnt even play right. you can barely get a sound out of it and i am a professional Flutist/piccolist

for the price you pay its rediculous.

I feel that this item is meant more as a novelty item than something to play in an orchestra. Judging it in that light, I find it to be different from anything else in my collection (and I do have quite a varied collection of flutes). I appreciate the artwork as well. It is playable, although it does take some work to find the proper embouchure and air placement to get a consistent sound. It has a light, clear tone that I find pleasant. I am not a professional, only an amateur, but I am a flute/piccolo lover and I found it to be worth the price for what it is meant to be.
