piccolo trumpet

1) A trumpet tuned an octave above the normal B flat trumpet's range. Has 1/2 the tubing of a normal trumpet and a fourth valve.
2) The only instrument more awesome than the trumpet; not to be confused with the piccolo, the only instrument harder to tune and shriller than the flute.
