The Selmer SPC301 student piccolo delivers exceptional playability and vibrant tone quality for aspiring piccoloists. This carefully engineered instrument features a hand-cut Grenadite headjoint that produces rich, expressive sound while maintaining the durability students need. Perfect for intermediate students transitioning from flute or beginners exploring the piccolo's unique voice in ensemble settings.
Product Overview
Constructed with a premium Grenadite composite headjoint and durable ABS resin body, the SPC301 offers the tonal qualities of traditional wood without atmospheric sensitivity issues. The hand-cut wave embouchure hole provides effortless response and free-blowing characteristics that make this piccolo remarkably accessible for developing players.
The SPC301's hand-assembled silver-plated keywork features premium Pisoni pads and carefully calibrated springs for fluid, responsive action. Each key responds precisely to the player's touch, enabling smooth technical passages and expressive musical phrasing.
