My dad sent me this piccolo for Christmas. I had never played piccolos before, just the flute for three years. It took me awhile to learn, but the Barrington piccolo made learning easy. Its worth 5 stars.

I liked this piccolo. It plays very nicely and it was very easy for me to switch from flute to piccolo during a concert. I wasn't use to the style of the piccolo at first. seeing the headjoint go on the outside of the body was different for me, plus the cork on the end of the body was different for me too. I later liked this feature because then the head joint wouldn't change positions, and change the intonation during a concert or marching band because the cork kept it in place. this is a very nice piccolo and easy to play. I would recommend buying it.

I like this piccolo, but the styles are different from the ones with lip plates, thats why its very difficult to switch from piccolo to flute, or vice-versa, also the style of music is different, as the lip plates are good for concert band, but the ones without lip-plates are good for marching, for the style needed, our school marches without lip plates, but we also use them for concert, it doesn't sound very nice in concert, but this piccolo is very good for concert season......

I stopped in the show room while passing through, to try out these low priced piccolos. The first one I tried would not play in tune, but the second one played right on the money.
Scale 1 - 10
Action 8 . Very light, very easy to play for the most part. The only issue I had was the trill keys are set kind of low. This is not a big deal for me since I rarely use them except when doing an alternate fingering.
Tone 6. I have heard better, but for 5 times the price. Because of the headjoint, this still has some of the same qualities as a metal piccolo. Just a little warmer.
Playability 9. This is an easy piccolo to play, most of the notes play in tune, and it has a solid lower register. Has a smooth altissimo register also. I could not get it to play up to the 4th octave right off the bat, but that is the case with any new flute I ever bought.
Quality 6(can be a 9 on a good one) Be patient, you may have to play on more than one before you find the one you like. This pic is made in China, and even though it is made well, they may not all play the same. Over all, it you are fortunate enough to get a GOOD one, the manufacturing is virtually flawless!!! The only thing that you will have to make sure you do is grease the cork!!!! Generously!!!!! Other than that, I really could not see any reason this instrument wont last you a long time.
Customer Service 10 My experience at their showroom was absolutely the best I have ever had at a store that sells woodwinds. They will not hesitate to help you out, or get what ever instrument you wish to try out, for as long as it takes. I was very impressed!!!!
Overall 9
I like this pic alot, once I found one that I liked. For the price, and the service from WW&BW, this one is hard to beat. A good anyone who wants to play a pic, with out shelling out big money.
