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.
