What does the piccolo instrument look like?

A piccolo looks like a miniature version of a flute. It is usually black with silver keys, but can be all silver. It is about the length of your forearm (from your wrist to your elbow) and almost as big around as a quarter.Piccolos are in the woodwind family of musical instruments.Positioning: Piccolos are held horizontally and air is blown across a hole near the left end of the instrument. The instrument rests between the chin and the bottom lip with the hole at the top - the edge of it touching your bottom lip. The left hand is closest to the face (the instrument extends to the right of your body, just like a flute) with the fingers and palm pointing inward, and the right hand is next to the left hand with the fingers and palm facing outward.
