Block-mounted piccolo

Merry Christmas all!

Your Christmas present this year is an image of something I haven’t seen before - a 19th century block mounted Eb piccolo. Indeed, we’re looking for information about it, on behalf of the collection it is in, so if you can help, please get in touch.

You’ll find more about the wee beastie at the bottom of:

Christmast present? I was hoping for a GLP, MDT! Guess I’ll have to waite!

That is really interesting. I had and old Piccolo a couple months ago (probably Engish also had no maker’s name) with 6 kieys in D and I thought that was hard enough to play the keys got in my way.
