Pre-Owned Roy Seaman LTD Professional Piccolo (Grenadilla / Solid Silver Keys) - Ex-USAF
For sale is an incredible opportunity to own a world-class professional instrument with a remarkable pedigree. We recently acquired a matching batch of four (4) Pre-Owned Roy Seaman LTD Professional Piccolos, all originally purchased and meticulously maintained by the United States Air Force Band of the West.
The Roy Seaman LTD has been a leading choice among professional musicians for decades. Handcrafted from select, aged Grenadilla wood and featuring a fully solid silver mechanism, it produces a beautifully warm, dark, and rich tone that blends seamlessly within an acoustic ensemble. Having been rigorously maintained by top-tier military repair technicians during their service life, these piccolos are structurally flawless and ready for the concert stage.
This is the ultimate instrument for the serious collegiate major, dedicated orchestral player, or gigging professional. If you are looking for a top-tier wooden piccolo that won't sound shrill or piercing in the upper register, the Seaman LTD is famous for its sweet, singing tonal core. Because we have multiple available, this is also an incredible opportunity for a university flute studio or symphony section to purchase a sonically matched set!
The "Roy Seaman LTD" Advantage
