Eb picc on Ebay

Irish Flute

I’m not sure this is an Eb picc. Could it be a D that’s just a little high pitched? Seems high-priced too, given the current market. What does anyone think?

It’s been for sale a few times I think over the years.

It looks Eb to me, When I was a kid there were lots of these kicking around N.Ireland, looks to be in good condition, but I agree the price is too high, for me anyway.

Fair enough. These would be band instruments, played alongside (high) Bb flutes and the like, is that right?

5

Yes, Ben. It’s an actual Eb primarily for band use. And yes, it’s been around for a while on and off.

Ah. OK. Thanks.
