Hello, all.

Andrew Stiller's instrumentation book says 2% of piccolos have an extended low range of c# and c-nat. If the player has an instrument with an extension, I would like to write as low as c#, but of course I will have to provide ossias that don't go below d.

My question is, in the intervening ~25 years since Stiller wrote his book, has the percentage changed? Is it one particular maker that provides the extension? Does it affect the playing characteristics or the sound?

Any information about piccolo extensions is welcome.
