French Flute and Pic


Came across this lovely pair of French flutes while looking for info on a Le Comnte flute I'm working on. Love the tiny separate feet French piccolos often have.

Piccolo plate


I grabbed this image of a plate from a woodwind book off of eBay.  I think it shows German and English style piccolos. Not sure of the text it came from.

Interesting Thread



Just a quick link to a thread with info on piccolos used in the band scene.
Chiff piccolo thread

Also of interest is a link from Jem to Henry Potters fingering chart for five key band flutes,
