i saw a piccolo on ebay and i dont know how to buy it i mean i do i just mean if i bid and someone bids higher will i lose and not get the piccolo and can some give me a few other websites to buy piccolos from that are used thanks

In my opinion, it’s best not to buy things like musical instruments off sites like Ebay. You can’t be sure that it will be in as good as a condition as the seller says and of course, you might get outbid. If there is a flute shop near you then go there and they will have a range of used and new flutes and piccolos. If you live in London, there is a wonderful place near Lower Marsh. it’s called Topwind and it supplies lots of major flute players. The two people who run it are absolutely lovely and they will be very helpful even if they don’t have what you need. If you don’t live in England (it’s worth a trip halfway across the country for this shop) visit www.topwind.com and they sell online. I still think that you should stick with specialist music shops because you can trust that they will not rip you off. Here is a list of websites that you can buy a piccolo from but I particularly recommend topwind:

www.topwind.com
www.musicalinstrumentsales.co.uk/flutesales.html
www.usedpiccolos.com
www.bmcmusicsource.com/selmer_yamaha_piccollos.htm

Hope this helped, good luck finding a piccolo!
