Piccolo – Jack Leff
Searching for a high-quality vintage piccolo that not only sounds fantastic but also looks stunning? You’ve found it!
This grenadilla piccolo was entirely handmade by the legendary Jacques LEFÈVRE (1930-2020). Jacques Lefèvre apprenticed under his father, Martial Lefèvre (1883-1957) and worked for SML for some time before leaving in the 1960s to set his own business with the brand “Jack Leff”. His instruments are quite rare since he only made around 450 Jack Leff flutes in his lifetime.
This piccolo is in excellent shape, featuring silver-plated keywork and beautifully adorned rings. It’s still playable with its original pads. The case is also original and in fantastic condition. Pitched at a=442 Hz, its tone is both fine and elegant – an excellent option for those in search of a rare vintage piccolo with French flair.
