The piccolo flute comes in various types, including all metal, wood, and plastic. The all-metal piccolo flutes are known for their bright and piercing sound, while the wooden ones have a warmer and richer tone. Plastic piccolos are often used by beginners for their affordability and durability. Some famous brands for piccolo flutes are Yamaha, Gemeinhardt, and Jupiter. The cost of piccolo flutes can vary depending on the material and brand, with entry-level plastic piccolos starting at around $200 and professional-quality wooden or metal piccolos ranging from $1000 to $5000.
