YAMAHA YPC82 Piccolo with Case

Thank you for looking.
I purchased this used about 10 years ago.
I have upgraded to a new piccolo, so I would be happy if it could be passed on to someone who will cherish it.
I mainly played the flute, so it was not used frequently.
The silver has some age-related tarnish and deterioration, and there are minor scratches overall from use, but there are no cracks or chips visible from the outside.

The pads are old, but they have been replaced to a degree that does not impede playing. If you are concerned, we recommend replacing the pads. Also, the key action has been adjusted to be slightly narrower, so the blowing feel may differ slightly from the standard, but we would appreciate it if you could adjust it to your preference.
It is listed as having some scratches and dirt due to its age.
It still produces sound, and I used it with the headjoint replaced with a Fincher, but the YAMAHA piccolo is indeed stable and very easy to play.
How about a piccolo one grade higher than the YPC62 series?

Below is from the Yamaha website.

Yamaha Piccolo: Accurate intonation and a deep tone. Expansive resonance that shines.
The Yamaha piccolo features a beautiful appearance that follows traditional styles. Accurate intonation due to its unique body taper and tone hole positions, providing profound expressive power. All models, from standard to handmade, feature the E mechanism. This allows for smooth and expansive playing, even in the higher registers. The lip plate and tone holes are finished with skilled craftsmanship and meticulously adjusted. Undercutting the tone holes ensures a rich resonance that does not thin out in the higher registers and reliable articulation up to the highest notes.

Please feel free to ask any questions.

As this is a high-value item, we apologize, but we cannot accept cancellations after shipping.
It will be stored in its case, placed in a soft case, wrapped thoroughly with bubble wrap, placed in a cardboard box, and shipped via courier.

Thank you for your understanding.
