The Piccolo from the Vienna Symphonic Library is a sample-based virtual instrument featuring the highest-pitched wind instrument in the orchestra. The range of the piccolo or octave flute reaches far higher than the human voice and during the Classical period (the second half of the 18th century) the orchestral piccolo was used to imitate sounds of nature, such as bird songs or storms and for special effects. In the Romantic period (19th century) it became an established part of the woodwind section of the orchestra.
