I use pipe cleaners. I feel as though using metal cleaning rods may scratch the inside of the piccolo.
Pipe cleaners production quality is very wide spread so I would be very careful. Plus there not very absorbent.
I’ve got something like a pipe cleaner what is designed for the piccolo but it’s really hard to use as it gets stuck easily in the smaller end
oh really I would try the cheesecloth method and see if that helps. thanks for watching btw
YAMAHA piccolo mouthpiece can wash or not？
Gosh this help me so much thank you
No problem!!
Thank you very much for making this video. Much appreciated!
You're very welcome!
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!! I REALLY NEEDED IT! 😁
You're welcome! Glad I could help!
I never would have thought to use cheesecloth! I have a conical bore piccolo and my cleaning rod won't go all the way through so what I did was stitch a string to the end of a strip of cloth and I feed the string through and use it to pull the cloth through. I also use a polishing cloth to remove any finger prints or smudges before I put my flute in the case. I have acidic skin and if I don't do that my flute will tarnish :)
cheesecloth works wonders. A lot can go a long way, just make strips with scissors. Thanks for watching by the way! Hope to see you again in the comments.
Swab style (pull through) is good style of cleaning it too
Thank you so much for this video and all your advices.
You're Very welcome! Thanks for watching and hope to see you again in the comments!

You're so welcome!
@@flutechannel what can I use as a substitute for a cleaning rod (for a piccolo) ? My flute cleaning rod is too big to fit in the piccolo and I don’t want to damage it.
I'm not too sure what could be a replacement. I would order one from Amazon or w music shop. it's not expensive and worth getting.
I use a Valentino Piccolo Wand, it's a little pricey (just over $30) but well worth the money.
Is it just me or is the use of a metal rod risky. Would not plastic or wood be recommended?
It is and isn't if properly wrapped there would be no damage. There are some rods now that come completely covered so damage is quite limited.
What about the outside of the wooden headjoint?
gentle microfibre cloth with no cleaner.
The Flute Channel thanks!!!
