This well-seasoned grenadilla Burkart Custom Piccolo (similar to the current Burkart Piccolo Elite) has been well-cared for and maintained by one owner who originally bought it new in November 2000.  It is in excellent used condition with no cracks or chips, very few signs of wear on the keys, and it was refurbished in 2004 with Straubinger pads, and has been professionally played since purchased.  The piccolo has had recent adjustments and pad work to correct the playing it saw over the last fall ballet season.         

I'm struck by the lovely sweet and pure sound in all registers.  This piccolo has been played in many settings, including the Colorado Ballet Orchestra and the Colorado Symphony.   

Features include:

-African Grenadilla Wood (head and body)
-Clarion Headjoint
-Sterling Silver Keys
-A=442
-Straubinger pads (along with cork pads for the trill keys)
-G# facilitator

Comes with original slimline case and original outer carrying case.

This custom model has replaced by the Elite.  New, the Elite costs $6660.00 (including the g# facilitator). Asking $4500.
