~I know a lot about both instruments because I have been fortunate enough to play both of them. I have played Flute for 4 1/2 years and the piccolo for 6 months. Hope these help with your question:
Similarities:~They both have the same fingerings even though one is considerably smaller than the other.~They have the same style head joint.
Differences:~The flute is three pieces and the piccolo is only 2.~The piccolo is way higher pitched than the flute.
~I can not even stick my pinky into the end of a piccolo and I have very small fingers.
~You have to have more air support on the piccolo than you have to on the flute. You have to blow harder to get a sound out of a piccolo.
Hope this helped you out!! :)
