Started taking recorder lessons when I was 6 years old, after I found my mom's old recorder from her childhood laying somewhere at our home.After two years, I started taking lessons on the flute, at the municipal music center of my city - Netanya.

At the music center I got to play in a youth wind instruments orchestra till I was 16, and also in several other ensembles such as a all-flute ensemble. Back then, along with the classical studying, I got to try jazz and improvisation, and really liked it.After high school I studied Math, Computer Science and Music at Bar Ilan University in Israel.When I graduated from the university, I joined the army, and served for a few years as a software programmer, and unfortunately didn't have much time to play.Since I finished my army duties, I decided to get back to studying and playing the flute.When I was young, I didn't get to have a piccolo. I did had a few chances to play with borrowed piccolos (wooden, all-metal), but only for a limited time.

I heard about the Guo grenaditte flutes from watching great videos on the internet, and thought it sounded real good, and thought about getting one. When I heard they started making piccolos, I thought it might be a good opportunity for me to start playing the piccolo. And I wasn't disappointed!

The piccolo requires a different approach for playing, and it's a real challenge to play well on it. I love practicing on it - it has a great sound, and after some time of getting used to, it's real fun to play on! I'm really glad I chose this piccolo to study on.Not to mention that the piccolo looks real cute and comes with a sweet wooden case. People keep asking me questions about it because it looks so curious and out of the ordinary.

To sum it up - I love the grenadittepiccolo - it's awesome in my opinion, and I believe it's well worth the money.
