Does a flute or a piccolo play a higher note?

A piccolo plays the higher note over the flute, because the Piccolo's small size can leed to a high pitch, and is designed to have a shorter stem, so it's not just a small flute, so it is way higher than the flute. --By exactly one octave. They do also have the same fingerings.

Why are flutes and piccolos similar?

Flutes and piccolos are more than similar. They are both a part of the flute family. Think of the piccolo as a tiny flute replica (or a baby flute). The piccolo is made smaller than the the average concert flute so that the player can achieve higher notes with much more ease, comfort, and reliable tuning. This means that the piccolo can play some high notes that the concert flute can not play but the concert flute can play some lower notes that the piccolo can not play.


Which orchestra plays the highest flute or piccolo?

How do you play piccolo notes?

You don't just blow, you have to blow across the hole, and get the embouchure right to actually make a note. It may take a long time to get used to. You may find that if you can play the flute, then it is slightly easier to play the piccolo, than a person playing the piccolo for a first instrument! ; ) The piccolo is the same as playing the flute,it's just smaller and harder to hit the keys. I suggest mastering the flute first.

the piccolo has a higher pitch than a flute but a piccolo can get as silent as a flute it just depends on how good of a player you are . Any instrument can go from playing very soft to playing very loud music. Piccolos are the highest pitched instrument in a band and even if your not playing loud you can be heard over the rest of the band trust me i play the piccolo and i play very loud caz i like people to know i am playing.
