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.

∙ 13y agoflute and piccolo have the same exact notes as the flute. but if you have a flute and piccolo player play a note, say b flat, at the same time the piccolo will overpower the flute. Piccolo has a higher pitch than the flute. it depands on if the piccolo player is playing soft or very loud.

∙ 11y agoNo, it's the other way around. I believe the piccolo can go a full octave higher than the regular concert flute.

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.

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.

Yes, but the buttons and triggers are much smaller
Do you have to play the flute to play the piccolo or can I just go and play the piccolo without learning the flute BTW I already play the cello?
It's possible, but the transition would be much easier by starting on flute.
What is a picalo?
A piccolo is a smaller version of the flute, when all notes played sound an octave above the notes played on the flute. For example, if you were to play the third-line B-flat on the flute and on piccolo, it would sound an ovtave higher on the piccolo than on the flute, even though they are the same note. Most (if not all) of the fingering for notes is the same on both instruments, and it is incredibly easy to switch between the two--for example, I started playing flute in 5th grade, and started playing piccolo in the 7th grade, and would bring both to concerts and practices. Depending on the song and what our conductor wanted, I would either play flute or piccolo. I have found that songs for what our school called "Pep Band" or "marching band" usually called for me to play piccolo, while more concert type peices called for flute.
