Hey guys, I am playing a Yamaha Flute 261, quite old model I know.(My dad got it for me years ago but I didn't really start playing til now, so it looked brand new) I love the key holes and I'd love to have a piccolo since a long time ago.


I have a really tight budget for a piccolo and I was thinking of having a 2nd hand one. Can you guys please take a look at this piccolo from ebay ? Its new and I'm not sure if it is a junk.


p.s I do play outdoors sometimes.
Thank you, have a nice dayyyyy

& this one too, I reckon the black body is plastic, does plastic affect playing?

Hi there.

It's been said many times before, you should stick to well known brand names. If it is not from a big well known manufacturer or a master craftsman flute maker, you are taking a chance.

I have never heard of that company.

I have heard of Bundy. I would not recommend it. That is my personal opinion and preference.

Thanks for the help and website url.
