Highly recommended for intermediates
Great step-up instrument. The 16-hole design with the E key makes tricky passages much easier to handle. Very happy with this purchase.

Beautiful instrument, slight break-in
Lovely instrument. The pads needed a day or two to settle in, but now it plays beautifully. The purple color stands out on stage.

Stunning visual and great sound
The purple finish on the white brass is absolutely gorgeous. The sound is bright and projects well in our community band. The Italian pads seal perfectly right out of the box.

Good value for the mechanism
The French mechanism feels smooth and responsive. It took a little while to get used to the E key placement, but now it feels natural. The case is a nice touch.

Perfect upgrade from my student model
I needed something with more projection for orchestral work. This Lade piccolo delivers. The white brass body gives it a unique timbre compared to silver models.

Excellent craftsmanship
The attention to detail on the keys and the leather case is impressive. No air leaks, and the intonation is surprisingly accurate across all registers.
Q: Does this piccolo come with a cleaning rod and cloth?
A: Yes, the package includes a standard cleaning rod, a soft cloth, and cork grease along with the leather case.
Q: What is the warranty period for the pads?
A: The instrument comes with a one-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, including the pads.
Q: Is the white brass body plated or solid?
A: The body is made of white brass with a durable purple lacquer finish applied over it for protection and aesthetics.
Q: Can the E key be removed if I prefer not to use it?
A: The E key is integrated into the French mechanism design and is not designed to be removed by the user. It aids in stability for specific notes.
Q: Is the leather case water-resistant?
A: The leather case offers good protection against bumps and scratches and has some resistance to light moisture, but it is not fully waterproof.
