Used Yamaha YPC-30 Metal Piccolo - With Hardshell Case
$898.77
The Yamaha YPC-30 is a vintage, all-metal student piccolo designed to provide dependable performance, a clear projecting tone, and the familiar response associated with a traditional metal piccolo. It's built with a nickel-silver body and headjoint, silver-plated keys, and a cylindrical bore, representing an earlier generation of Yamaha student piccolos.
Metal construction gives the instrument a characteristically bright, focused, and projecting sound, with tonal qualities somewhat closer to a concert flute than the warmer, wood-like character commonly associated with grenadilla or resin piccolos. That makes the YPC-30 particularly well suited to ensemble playing where projection and clarity matter — in concert band settings, it carries clearly above the rest of the group.
Our highlighted instrument is a perennial favorite of music teachers around the world. There are many feather scratches throughout the piccolo, but no dings, pings, or dents on the parts, and our technician has adjusted it for General Playing Conditions. It comes with the original hard-shell case.
The YPC-30 was manufactured in the United States and has become a recognizable vintage Yamaha piccolo, valued for its straightforward student design and durable metal construction. Its cylindrical bore distinguishes it from later Yamaha student piccolos such as the YPC-32, which use a different bore and construction approach — an interesting option for players, collectors, and musicians seeking the distinctive response of a vintage metal piccolo.
