Philipp Hammig Wood Piccolos
For well over 200 years, handmade wooden piccolos from the Philipp Hammig workshop have been recognized as instruments of superior design, innovation and craftsmanship. Crafted from the finest seasoned African granadilla wood, they achieve the deep rich tonal character that Hammig instruments are prized for.
Piccolos are available in four models. All models come standard with the Split E mechanism and French style pointed tonearms attaching the trill, G# and D# keys. Models with the high G# mechanism, enhance production and pitch of this note.
