Boxwood piccolo in C – ZIEGLER, Johann
On sale here is a delightful boxwood piccolo in C made by the Viennese master Johann ZIEGLER (1794/5-1858). ZIEGLER was one of the most important woodwind instrument makers during the mid-nineteenth century, with a great reputation. His instruments were played in many of the famous orchestras around Europe at that time.
