Onto the piccolo itself. The piccolo is superb The notes are fairly in tune if you pull the head piece out a little in the highest register. The lower register resonates extremely well and has a nice warm feeling to it. The middle register is good. Although the notes are slightly airy, I blame it on my skills and my embouchure because I am still accustomed to the flute, which has a much wider embouchure. The highest register is good as well. If the head piece is fully in, the notes are about 70 cents off tune. On a tuner, if I were to play an G natural in the highest register, the G would come out as an flat Ab. However, to solve this problem, I just pull the head piece out so that a little of the cork is showing and adjust the embouchure so that both the lower and the higher registers are on tune.
Generally, I am pleased with this purchase. It hasn't fallen apart yet, nor are any of the pads leaking so far. While not as warm sounding as the grenadilla piccolos (I play in an orchestra and band), the resin body is perfect for people in both concert bands and marching bands because of its durability and its "loudness".
This piccolo has a great tone quality, and plays easily once you learn how to form the correct embouchure. It sounds amazing! The keys/pads are easy to press and seem like they will last a long time. It feels really well built, and does not seem like it would break to easily The black resin is beautiful, and definitely worth the extra ten dollars from a silver one.
So far I haven't had any problems with my piccolo, and my band teacher and all my friends love it!
My only complaints would be that the case is very large, and the cleaning rod is too big to fit into the piccolo.
If you're looking for something to play as a full time instrument, I would recommend getting a more expensive one, as I don't think that this is meant for extreme use.
Overall I would say that this piccolo would be a great buy for beginners learning the piccolo, who don't want to spend too much money.
This piccolo is perfect for beginners, marching bands, or people who just play for fun in a local community band (such as myself). If you're a professional you wouldn't be buying a piccolo from Amazon.
The piccolo comes with a bag style case with a strap, a cleaning rod, cleaning cloth (for polishing) and cork grease.
Some of the other reviews mention horror stories with the piccolo being damaged, deteriorating quickly, or not playing properly. I personally havent had any issues - but of course I've only had it for 2 weeks. If a problem presents itself I will leave a review.

Also - I wanted the resin body pic, but ended up ordering the all silver one, only because I was afraid that with how much use my pic gets (in especially rainy/hot conditions) that the cork for the head joint might not last long..
