    Gemeinhardt: Where Artistry and Technology Blend.
    Kurt Gemeinhardt dedicated himself to creating remarkably responsive instruments with a beautiful tone
    that would distinguish them from all others. Today, Gemeinhardt continues his legacy by incorporating the
    craftsmanship of the past with today's sophisticated technology to create flutes that are as artful as they
    are advanced. An instrument of pride for flutists of all talents and abilities.
    As the largest exclusive manufacturer of flutes and piccolos, Gemeinhardt instruments are known and trusted
    for their acoustic and mechanical excellence, and are the preference of more flutists the world over. A
    preference you'll understand once you play any one of their remarkable instruments.
    Professional Quality Features of the Gemeinhardt 1P piccolo
    This piccolo is perfect for first-time piccolo buyers looking to buy the most affordable piccolo they can, that will still play in tune, sound good, not be shrill or harsh sounding, and play every note.  Not every beginner piccolo on the market can even play every note.  Gemeinhardt, who has been making piccolos for over 60 years, has the ability to manufacture a piccolo of this quality for such a low price.  A quality piccolo design like this takes years of research and development from a high-tech manufacturing facility like Gemeinhardt.  Accept no shoddy imitations!  Piccolo is the hardest instrument to play, and the hardest to design and build!  You need a piccolo made by a large respected company that is well known for the quality and durability of their piccolos. That way you will have great success playing piccolo.
    Bottom line:  This is the most affordable piccolo that plays in tune, sounds good, and can play every note.  Don't compromise, you'll need all the help you can get when playing piccolo.  So start with a quality piccolo, so you don't have to fight it!  This will out-play any used piccolo in its price range.
    Beauty and Elegance
    The silver plated key mechanism is strong and durable, and has great ergonomics.  It is smooth and quiet.
    Gemeinhardt is famous for the quality and durability of their silver plating, it doesn't wear off right away like other brands.
    Think you know Gemeinhardt?  Guess again!
    Gemeinhardt has completely reinvented itself.
    If you haven't played a brand new Gemeinhardt this year, try one! After a stagnant decade of being owned by investment bankers,
    Gemeinhardt is back in the hands of
    flute experts!
    They have completely redesigned their flutes and they are better than ever. The world's most popular brand of flutes once again receives
    a recommendation from Rich Lupo Flutes and Piccolos.
    5 year manufacturer warranty.
    2 years of free repairs and maintenance from Rich Lupo Flutes and Piccolos.  Even covers accidental damage.

    Rich Lupo Flutes and Piccolos is a flute specialty store, not a giant warehouse with forklifts and conveyor belts.  We only accept the best
    flutes from the manufacturer.
    We hand select our inventory with care and extensively test and set-up each flute before shipping it to our customers.
    Every flute, even brand new, needs professional testing and set-up.  The final stage of quality control is the dealer.  The manufacturer knows
    this, and expects it out of their dealers.  You don't want a flute straight from the factory, you want a flute that has been carefully checked over
    and tweaked for maximum performance by a professional flutist.
    We're not some giant warehouse that imports flutes on trucks and ships them out on conveyor belts.  We are a flute shop.  We test and customize
    each and every flute that goes out our doors, to make sure it is perfect for our customer.  We tweak and refine each flute, making all necessary
    adjustments, evening the spring tension, oiling, fitting the joints better, tuning, etc.  All to make the factory made flute play and feel like a fine
    handmade flute.  A few hours of attention makes all the difference!  Now
    that's
    something you
    can
    't do in a warehouse.
    So quiz your dealer.
    Find out if they actually know anything about flutes!  Ask them which Bb fingering is their favorite.  Which orchestras
    have they soloed with?  Where did they study?
    Would you buy a car from a salesman who didn't even have a driver's license?  Would you even believe a word they said?
