{"title":"Piccolo","description":"\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eDid you know…? The piccolo is not only the smallest and highest-pitched musical instrument in the flute family, but it is also the smallest and highest-pitched of all wind musical instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the piccolo…\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe piccolo is a type of aerophone included in the woodwind category. It is characterized by its very small dimensions and is similar to the transverse flute (its miniature version). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIt is considered a transposing musical instrument, as the sound it produces and the written sound that should be interpreted are different, since it is written an octave lower to avoid more ledger lines on the staff. \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eContext and some history\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough its current use has nothing to do with it, the piccolo emerged as an instrument related to the military sphere to accompany marches and military parades. In fact, the piccolo was inspired by the fife, an old instrument that served this same function and eventually fell into disuse due to the better possibilities offered by the piccolo. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShortly after, by the end of the 18th century, the influence of the piccolo reached symphony orchestras, where it began to consolidate, its first appearance being in Handel's work \"Rinaldo\" in 1711.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 19th century, the piccolo, like other wind instruments, adapted to Theobald Boehm's key system, which represented an incredible evolution in the professionalization of the instrument and a great consideration during the following century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe main characteristics and parts of the piccolo\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe piccolo is approximately half the length of a transverse flute, with a cylindrical and metallic shape. Specifically, it has dimensions of 22 to 25 centimeters, and is usually made of ebony wood. It also has a beveled embouchure, somewhat smaller and narrower than that of the transverse flute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has a total of eight holes, 5 of which are located on the upper part and another 3 on the lower part. On the other hand, they have a key system that allows for chromatic perfection. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe piccolo is divided into two parts, the head and the body, which are joined by a clamp. The embouchure is located in the head and the key section in the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey system: These constitute the mechanism, along with the rods and springs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpatula: Also called a paddle, these are used to open holes that remain closed when the instrument is not being played.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuide: These are pieces that serve to support the rod, to reinforce it. Not all piccolos use them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmbouchure: The piece through which air is transmitted when blowing. It has a beveled hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe sound of the transverse flute and where to hear it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf anything characterizes the sound of the piccolo, it is that it produces the highest pitch of all the instruments in this musical family, being the highest pitched of the instruments in the orchestra. On the other hand, it offers fewer expressive possibilities than the transverse flute, used in more \"warm\" registers. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe piccolo is a musical instrument typical of the symphony orchestra, where generally only one is used per orchestra and is obviously located in the flute section. It is also an instrument typical of popular music in Catalonia and historically used in compositions by minstrels, accompanying songs and dances, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also common to see it in folkloric musical groups such as the cobla, where the \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; color: #000000\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"flautin-gara-gpc-1","title":"Flautin Gara GPC1","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"en\"\u003eThe Gara GPC-1 piccolo is an\u003cb style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight:normal\"\u003e ideal instrument for playing street music\u003c\/b\u003e.
