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.

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.

What note is louder in an orcestra flute or piccolo?

the piccolo has a higher pitch than a flute but a piccolo can get as silent as a flute it just depends on how good of a player you are . Any instrument can go from playing very soft to playing very loud music. Piccolos are the highest pitched instrument in a band and even if your not playing loud you can be heard over the rest of the band trust me i play the piccolo and i play very loud caz i like people to know i am playing.
