piccolo definition and meaning

What is a "piccolo"?

A piccolo is a small, high-pitched woodwind instrument that resembles a miniature flute. It has a slender, cylindrical body with a series of keys and holes that the player covers to change the pitch. The piccolo is played by blowing air across a small opening at the head of the instrument. Known for its bright, penetrating sound and wide range, the piccolo often plays the highest notes in orchestras and wind ensembles. Its compact size and sharp tone make it an important instrument in both classical and contemporary music.
