Resona Piccolo

The Resona piccolo is the most exceptional piccolo available to any player, band or orchestra - a hand-crafted piccolo that is both in tune and easy to play. The Resona Piccolo is crafted from aged, Tanzanian grenadilla wood and matched with a hand crafted grenadilla headjoint in the tradition set by Lillian Burkart. The elegantly shaped key work is comfortable, reliable and fit to perfection. The Burkart piccolo scale and tone hole shape are designed for balanced intonation and ease of play. All piccolo keys are made with silver plated mechanism, fitted with 10K gold springs and include split E mechanism.

Launched in August, 2004, and formally known as the Global piccolo by Burkart & Phelan, the Resona piccolo has gained a strong reputation for reliability and stability. This is the same great piccolo with a new name. The Resona piccolo models offer headjoint choices that are hand cut by the expert headjoint makers at Burkart in two embouchure styles, a standard (classic) cut and a modified wave cut. The tenons and end rings of Resona piccolos are made of solid sterling silver enhancing the tone of each piccolo.

Headjoint Styles - Resona Piccolo

Standard - This headjoint has the traditional piccolo style embouchure hole that has carried some of the most famous piccolo players around the world. With attention to detail, this headjoint is cut for quick response and a full sound.

Wave - The headjoint profile is carved with a slightly higher front wall (the blowing edge) and lower back wall against which the chin rests. It produces a very rich, clean, projecting tone, with easy control of dynamics. The low register is very focused, enabling good projection and articulation.
