Great Value Piccolo

Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2024

I bought the ABS piccolo to replace my defective Eastrock ABS piccolo. So far the Eastar one is better quality, has a better tone although the intonation slightly wants to lay really sharp or flat on certain notes. This is a great piccolo for the value. Definitely worth buying as a beginner, intermediate player or just for leisure playing without breaking the bank. Came with many accessories. The case is better than the Eastrock as well as there’s a separate pocket to store accessories on the front of the piccolo case which is a nice added touch. Definitely recommend this!

Great value for marching band, or the occasional player.

Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2018

I recently bought a Easter flute and thought it was an incredible value, so I decided to get the piccolo for my son for Christmas.

The good:
* It comes in a nicely lined case, the closing latches are smooth and case will definitely protect the instrument. You can see from the picture that the keys come open with little red rubber wedges to prevent the keys from getting damaged during shipping. That's good attention to detail. Some of the other reviews show a different (bigger? softer?) case. I think I like mine better.
* The keys and springs operate smoothly, the pads appear to be of good quality and there is no air leakage around the keys.
* The instrument plays beautifully. The sound was sweet and breathy, not as shrill as I feared. We never owned a piccolo before, so I can't compare to other instruments. I can only say that I am very happy with how it sounds.
* It comes included with two cleaning cloths. The yellow chamois style can be used to wipe the exterior safely, and the blue one comes with a weighted ribbon to clean the inside. The weighted ribbon is a nice touch, but it also comes with a cleaning for for those who preferably that method for cleaning the inside. Very nice that no additional purchase is required to take care of your instrument.

The not-so-perfect:
* The cap at the top of the mouthpiece is no welded perfectly centered, as you can see from the picture. It's just cosmetic and doesn't affect the sound, but some may consider it a defect and ask for an exchange. I opted not to.
* There is a little cardboard card insert in the package explaining fingerings of the different notes. Unfortunately that card is for a full size flute, which is the same fingering as the piccolo, but it shows the instrument being comprised of 3 pieces, whereas the piccolo only has 2 pieces. It could be confusing to some people, thinking their piccolo is missing a piece (you could also think from looking at the case that there should be 3 pieces). Most people buying a piccolo will have seen one before and not be concerned though.
* Just like with the flute, it comes with white gloves, which is a nice touch, but are not big enough for my hands or my son's.

In summary:
There are two kinds of piccolo players: the "chairs" in their orchestra that are meant to be an expert at the instrument, and may choose to go with a brand-name semi-professional instrument, and there is the casual player, or the marching band player that need an instrument that will get the job done without breaking the bank, without investing too much in their instrument. This Eastar piccolo is perfect for this second type of player.
I think few kids start with the piccolo, most start with a regular flute, but this would also be a great choice for a beginner (maybe with small hands).
In my opinion, every flute player should also own and play a piccolo, and at this price, there is no reason not to!

GREAT!

Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2020

This product is great for beginners! My daughter has played the flute for over 3 years and is just deciding to try out the piccolo. I bought it for her as a birthday present and she loves it. The sound quality is great for the price and the case has a lot of extras. The only thing in the case that I hate is the marching band gloves. When I bought this I was happy that it came with marching band gloves because she wanted to participate in the marching band. Except when we received the gloves they were horrible... I don't recommend using the gloves at all. I also wanted to address the fact that a lot of reviews state that, "there is only two pieces it is supposed to come with 3". The piccolo is only 2 pieces but it has 3 main parts. One of the parts just isn't detachable. Overall the product if great!

Worth the Risk!

I bought this for my 15yo daughter. She is currently a sophomore in the highest band at her school and plays the flute for a majority of the time. Starting in 8th grade, she would play the schools loaner Piccolo (Gemeinhardt) when it was available. In highschool, many of the flute players switch to Piccolo in marching/pep band since the high sound carries better. Recently, several of the school Piccolo's were damaged or in need of significant repair. Since she is an underclassman, naturally she gets lowest priority and was told she could no longer play Piccolo.

She was devastated and this led me to search for a reasonable solution. I could rent a brand name Piccolo, buy one of the many China made versions that sell for cheap or spend $700+ to buy one (already spent $750 on the Yamaha flute). When she was learning the play the flute, I didn't want to gamble and have her get a bad instrument causing her to lose interest but as a second instrument, I decided to take the risk. I am BLOWN AWAY at the quality of this cheap instrument. Seems to be very well made and after a 30 minute break in period, the pads seal perfectly (I play the sax and checked them and regular intervals).

Best of all she LOVES this Piccolo and says it plays and sounds better than the one she was borrowing from the school (resin Gemeinhardt). I did a fair amount of research on these and there are a few good youTube videos on this model that do it justice.

If you are buying this as a starter instrument, I recommend starting with a brand name flute not a piccolo. Piccolo is harder to play and the fundamentals should be learned first. With a rental they will keep it in good repair if you use the annual service agreement.

As a second instrument, this is perfect. As a marching/pep band instrument you can sleep knowing it is $100 max when a kid knocks it off the stands, especially the all metal version (it happens a lot). My daughter might only use this for 2 more years and if she continues into college a brand name might be in her future but for now, this purchase was absolutely worth the risk. Highly recommend.
