How is the piccolo held?

It depends: A rotary piccolo is held differently; with a finger hook for your left hand little finger and a thumb grip. Your right hand has another finger hole but is used only for page turns. A normal pic is held with two fingers of the left hand wrapped around the valve casing and the other two around the third valve slide. On the right hand, your little finger goes under the fourth valve or in the finger hook, and your thumb wherever feels comfortable resting against the first valve casing.
