Professional Quality Features of the Gemeinhardt 1P piccolo

This piccolo is perfect for first-time piccolo buyers looking to buy the most affordable piccolo they can, that will still play in tune, sound good, not be shrill or harsh sounding, and play every note.  Not every beginner piccolo on the market can even play every note.  Gemeinhardt, who has been making piccolos for over 60 years, has the ability to manufacture a piccolo of this quality for such a low price.  A quality piccolo design like this takes years of research and development from a high-tech manufacturing facility like Gemeinhardt.  Accept no shoddy imitations!  Piccolo is the hardest instrument to play, and the hardest to design and build!  You need a piccolo made by a large respected company that is well known for the quality and durability of their piccolos. That way you will have great success playing piccolo.

Bottom line:  This is the most affordable piccolo that plays in tune, sounds good, and can play every note.  Don't compromise, you'll need all the help you can get when playing piccolo.  So start with a quality piccolo, so you don't have to fight it!  This will out-play any used piccolo in its price range.



Beauty and Elegance

The silver plated key mechanism is strong and durable, and has great ergonomics.  It is smooth and quiet.

Gemeinhardt is famous for the quality and durability of their silver plating, it doesn't wear off right away like other brands.

Rich Lupo Flutes and Piccolos is a flute specialty store, not a giant warehouse with forklifts and conveyor belts.  We only accept the best
flutes from the manufacturer. 
We hand select our inventory with care and extensively test and set-up each flute before shipping it to our customers.
Every flute, even brand new, needs professional testing and set-up.  The final stage of quality control is the dealer.  The manufacturer knows
this, and expects it out of their dealers.  You don't want a flute straight from the factory, you want a flute that has been carefully checked over
and tweaked for maximum performance by a professional flutist.  
We're not some giant warehouse that imports flutes on trucks and ships them out on conveyor belts.  We are a flute shop.  We test and customize
each and every flute that goes out our doors, to make sure it is perfect for our customer.  We tweak and refine each flute, making all necessary
adjustments, evening the spring tension, oiling, fitting the joints better, tuning, etc.  All to make the factory made flute play and feel like a fine
handmade flute.  A few hours of attention makes all the difference!  Now that's something you can't do in a warehouse.

So quiz your dealer.  Find out if they actually know anything about flutes!  Ask them which Bb fingering is their favorite.  Which orchestras
have they soloed with?  Where did they study?
Would you buy a car from a salesman who didn't even have a driver's license?  Would you even believe a word they said?
