This gorgeous instrument looks like it was barely used, including the pads...a rare find!

The playability of this handmade professional Yamaha YPC-81R used piccolo is amazing, partly due to the new wave headjoint (this is the "R" part of the 81R). The highest and lowest notes just "fall out" with very little effort, and the tone is very colorful and rich. 

Specs:
-select grenadilla wood body
-new wave grenadilla headjoint
-silver-plated keys
-split-e mechanism
-undercut tone holes
-conical bore

Comes with its original french Yamaha case in excellent condition.  A cleaning rod is included.

If/when you buy a piccolo, it's a good idea to listen before you buy, as each one plays differently. Yamaha piccolos have a strong reputation for quality.   On this one, the lower register is robust, and the very highest notes speak with ease, which is a sign that it is well-made.
