The YPC-32 is probably the most popular student piccolo in the world due to its easy playability, accurate intonation and reliable keywork.
The body is made of sturdy, maintenance-free ABS resin for a sound similar to that of natural wood. Because the headjoint has a lip-plate similar to a flute, it feels familiar to flute players, making it easy to play. The standard model includes an E mechanism, as is found on professional model piccolos.
