Product Reviews: Altieri Piccolo Wand

Easy to use, easy to pack away, a neat solution to cleaning out the note blocking condensation in cold venues without having to remove the head joint! A bit pricey at first glance, but when you see how well made it is you realise it is well worth the price.

I’ve been using a similar fixed length piccolo flag for many years and so I was disappointed to find the only option available is now the screw together option (In my experience these have the tendency to unscrew over time during cleaning leading to potentially embarrassing moments during performance)
I have resorted to supergluing the parts together

I like being able to wick out the moisture mid-performance to keep the picc from becoming "clogged".

Bought as a gift for daughters birthday. perfect for her piccolo and very handy as it unscrews to fit in the box. Disappointing packaging as arrived in a plastic bag!

Bought this cleaning stick so I could clean my piccolo out without having to remove the headjoint in performance- but it is too large to do this! Would not recommend buying this particular cleaning rod if this is something that you require. It does fit into the case as the rod unscrews into two parts which is handy, but overall, it doesn't seem good value for money.

Great addition to cleaning of my piccolo, quick and easy to use during Concerts, would recommend if you play piccolo on a regular basis.
Easy to pack away in the storage it's supplied in.
