We, regrettably, do not know much about piccolos. As far as we can tell, this Armstrong 38 appears to be in good shape, perhaps even very good, but it HAS NOT been tested. Case s included. Note in the pictures, one of the keys appears to have a pad or cotton on it. We will answer any questions you may have to the best of our knowledge. Use the photos, along with the description, to make your best assessment of the instrument. Please see all the photos for more details.
