Overview
Not a wooden piccolo, the Prelude 111 is a polished metal instrument with a silver-plated headjoint and keys. A case comes with it, and the mechanism named in the title is listed.
The plated headjoint and bright sound suit band work. The odd mention of reeds raises a question about the accessory list.
Who it's for
School band flutists adding a piccolo get a polished body and a case. Players who want a particular material or an exact accessory list should ask the seller first.
Pros and cons

Performance notes
A metal body and a plated headjoint give the bright tone the listing describes. The listing gives no detail on how the split E mechanism plays, only that it is fitted.
