 Piccolo and Eb Flute
The piccolo has been around for approximately two hundred years but actually traces its roots to the fife, which was used extensively in European military music, long before the piccolo came into being.
Eventually, the smaller piccolo with keys gradually supplanted the larger, keyless fife and was possibly in use as early as the music of Handel, in his opera Rinaldo, and the music of W. Mozart, in some of his operas and German Dances.
In band music, the Db piccolo, rather than the larger orchestral C piccolo, was the mainstay until the early 20th Century, when the Db parts were gradually transposed for the C piccolo because of its stronger tone.

Piccolos appear to be cute and cuddly, so small and sweet, but the truth is that they are practically weapons, dangerous to us and to others who are close by.
That said, if you do enjoy the piccolo and are always eager to play it, but enjoy the flute equally, you run the risk of missing out on playing good flute parts because you will be depended upon for your good piccolo-playing.
