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.

What instrument produces higher notes flute or piccolo?
as a matter of fact,the piccolo is higher in sound then the flute! its amazing how such a little instrument can produce a high sound!!!
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.
Does a Bundy BPC-300 piccolo work well?
Hi,I just bought a Bundy BPC- 300 piccolo and I have to say, at first when you start playing it, no, it doesn't play well at all. The middle ranged notes barely come out. After awhile, I don't know why, it'll play well.My advice: if you have the money, buy the piccolo from a different brand, such as Gemeinhardt or Armstrong.

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.
What are the Synonyms for piccolo?
