Hall Crystal Flute 11003 - Inline Glass Piccolo in D - Dragonfly

I was never able to make any notes in a side blown flute before, my older sister played the flute so I had quite a few chances to try in a silver plated flute. She also had a glass one from Halls our mom had bought her that she broke in the dishwasher after she got married. I had always thought it was pretty but my sister never let me get to see or hold that one. During Covid I learned to transcribe music, learned some music theory and I picked back up my childhood instrument, the oboe. The fingerings for oboe was close to the tin whistle in key of D, minus octave keys. So, I picked back up a tin whistle I bought long ago- from Star Trek The Inner Light inspiration, and was playing that well. Then I learned the glass piccolo in D has the same fingerings as tin whistle in D and my only hurdle would be blowing in the side. First day I got it, I made a sound in it, and I took out my tuner and I was in key on it. It’s a nice accomplishment of something I never expected I could do. It is a very pretty instrument and I am glad I purchased it.

I love the flute so much, I decided to try the hall crystal piccolo. Beautiful sound and look! I get compliments all the time now :)

This is a beautiful sounding in-line diatonic flute.

Lovely tone. A compliment to my various D whistles! And pretty!

I was very skeptical ordering a piccolo online, but after receiving it, I am very pleased. The lily pattern and quality of the crystal is beautiful, and I received the piccolo very quickly (4 days) because it was shipped first class. If you're used to playing a piccolo not made of crystal, it will take some readjustment of your omnisure. It is a great piccolo, I am very happy with it.

Good product, arrived on time.

This instrument adds so much to the ambience and texture of any track. It sounds amazing and is very light. The tone is bright and airy.

The flute sent to me was defective (which was bad enough since it was a birthday present), but I had to pay for return shipping as well, which is like adding insult to injury.

Très belle mais petite

ピアノとリコーダーしかしたことなかったため音が出るまでに2時間かかりました。口の形もさぐりさぐり。音によって息を吹く量を変えなきゃいけない(?初心者なので予想です)のがとても難しかったです。挫折しそう。

元フルート吹きとしては、買わなくちゃという気分になりました。とても綺麗で家にあるだけでテンションがあがります

フルートを２０年以上やっていますが、クリスタルフルートは穴の並びや大きさが均一でなく、難しいです。でもきれいで、素敵です。なにより、洗えるのがいいですね。

非常に楽に音出しができました。６穴のピッコロですが、リコーダーと同じ運指であれば（８穴)もっと普及するのではないかと思いますが、これがクリスタルフルートの特性なんですね。
