Is a piccolo louder than a flute?

Answer 1

T think its because of their size. the larger insterments play lower notes than the ones that might be smaller than they EX: The Trombone plays lower than the Trumpet. Since the piccolo is shorter than the Flute, it might produce a higher note.

Answer 2

Oh yes they are. They are used to "bring out" the flute section in march music. A good piccolo player can be heard well above a large band.

Answer 3

the piccolo has a higher sound than the flute and that's because it is smaller

Answer 4

Piccolos produce a higher pitched note than a flute because they are shorter, and smaller
