There is, however, an instrument called the "piccolo Clarinet." This is basically a small clarinet, which is a single-reed instrument. Similarly, there is the "piccolo oboe" or "piccoloboe", which is s small oboe and therefore a double-reed instrument. "Piccolo" is Italian for "small". (and, understandably, since it would be silly to have an instrument named "small", in Italy the Flute-like instrument called a piccolo in the United States is known as an ottavino).

∙ 9y agoA piccolo is the highest-pitched member of the flute family. Just like the flute, the picColo does not use a cane Reed at all.
The flute-type instruments have a hole on the side of the instrument, across which the player blows. The stream of air is directed by the lips towards the far side of the hole, where the stream of air excites the air in the bore. The air vibrates at a pitch controlled by air speed, fingerling, and other things which are controlled by the player.
The piccolo is played in this fashion, although, being shorter, without the range of the larger flutes.
