Does a piccolo have single or a double reed?

Answer 1

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).

Answer 2

A 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.

Answer 3

The piccolo is part of the flute family, so it has no reed.

Answer 4

No. A piccolo is a woodwind instrument, but it is basically a tiny flute, so it has no reed at all, just a hole that you blow over the way you would play a flute.

Answer 5

A piccolo has no reed as it has a mouthpiece like a flute.

Answer 6

A piccolo doesn't even have a reed. It resembles a flute, but is about half the size of one.

Answer 7

The piccolo has no reeds. It is a type of flute. The sound is produced by blowing air over top of the hole in the mouthpiece.
