【Masterpiece/No Cracks】Yamaha Piccolo YPC-61 Wooden Grenadilla Professional Model

This is the Yamaha YPC-61, a professional-grade wooden piccolo.
It is the predecessor to the current professional model YPC-62 (list price over ¥200,000) and is a masterpiece still loved by many players today. Both the headjoint and body are luxuriously made of grenadilla, a high-quality wood, and are characterized by a warm, yet strong and powerful sound unique to wooden instruments.
This model is from an era when very high-quality wood was used, and it holds significant value as a Japanese vintage instrument.
