The Yamaha YPC-32 is a long-established standard piccolo beloved in concert bands and orchestras. Suitable for beginners picking up a piccolo for the first time, as well as more experienced players looking for a reliable outdoor/marching instrument. The ABS resin body is resistant to cracking from sudden temperature and humidity changes, making it ideal for outdoor performances in winter or high-humidity environments. The nickel silver head joint (silver-plated) produces a bright, clear tone that is easy to produce sound on – perfect for flutists switching to piccolo. The E Mechanism assists in producing the high E note that many beginners struggle with, supporting stable performance in the upper register. Brand: Yamaha? Model: YPC-32?

Emerson DeFord, 1969, SN 962, Good Playable Condition, Close Holed Flute. Emerson DeFord started several music companies in his day and designed several flutes. This particular one he designed for the Bruno music company and manufactured out of Elkhart Indiana. Emerson had an extremely hands on approach to instrument making and if shows in this one as it’s still in amazing condition 56 years later. This listing is for the pictured E. DeFord flute made for Bruno in 1969, serial number 962. Repadded in the early 2000s and barely played since, this instrument is still in good playable condition (no air leaks) Likewise, the corks were redone around the same time. The key plating is in good condition and has worn though slightly in spots, most noticably on the offset G key. The body plating is in somewhat worse condition with the beginning of minor piting (that shouldn’t worsen with routine care and maintenance) and buff marks from an overzealous student cleaning. It has several scuffs, minor dents, and some scratching but the integrity of the instrument is not compromised. It gets a clear sound, even for me who primaries on brass winds. The keys, springs and supports are all aligned and in good sound condition. Please examine all photos carefully for details and reach out with any questions.

A Boosey and Hawkes Marching band piccolo. I was going to put better pads on it and use it for alumni band, but I don’t have the time anymore. I have played flute for 35 years. This piccolo is worth the time to clean up and play. It plays but needs pads very soon. The case is in poor condition from having been exposed to heat, but the PICC is fine. Please see all of the pictures as they are the best description of the lot. Thank you for looking, Rev J.

This beautiful antique fife dates to around 1890, it is made from rosewood and has several metal keys as seen in the photos. All the keys appearing to be working however the pads look old and may need replacing, there does not appear to be a makers mark that I can find. The flute splits into two pieces, the joint is tight as this is a very nicely made piece. There seems to be a very minor split to the bottom segment near the joint, you can see this in photo 10. I cannot play the instrument however my friend tested it and it sounded sweet. Condition is excellent and original, there are some minor losses near the mouth piece. I have not attempted to clean the piece and have left the tape on the joint, this was placed by the previous owner. Measuring 37 cm long.

Pearl Flutes PFP-105 105E Grenaditte Synthetic Piccolo, Marching & Concert Use. Silver-plated pinless mechanism, split E, high wave-style headjoint. Soft outer shell, hard case inside. Includes cork cap, cleaning rod, and polishing cloth. Grenaditte headjoint and body – synthetic material, warm rich sound with excellent projection, suitable for both concert and marching use. Material impervious to temperature changes, no worries of cracking! Pinless mechanism typical of Pearl instruments, no pins to snag on clothing. Split E mechanism is an amazing feature that comes standard – makes the notorious high E easier to voice in various dynamics and helps it respond quicker and more stable. Good intermediate piccolo, ideal for most situations and grade levels (younger students may need lessons to get used to the more advanced headjoint with lack of lip-plate). Tone and timbre are very close to that of wooden piccolos, especially when played by a seasoned flutist. I used this in many semi-pro gigs and people couldn’t guess that it wasn’t wood. — PLEASE NOTE: Some cosmetic damage/light scratches on the surface of the instrument, please see photos. Does not affect the instrument’s performance. 1-and-1 Bb felt will need to be replaced, please see photos. Bb can still be played with Thumb Bb and top Bb key; but 1-and-1 leaks due to the felt being too thin and sounds B natural.
