Piccolo, (Italian: “small flute”) in full flauto piccolo, highest-pitched woodwind instrument of orchestras and military bands. It is a small transverse (horizontally played) flute of conical or cylindrical bore, fitted with Boehm-system keywork and pitched an octave higher than the ordinary concert flute.
The important take away is that the Piccolo is part of the Woodwind Family.

Meet The Instruments
The Mega Marvin
This is the Mega Marvin, an instrument that gets used to make sounds in horror movies.
Mega Marvin’s sounds resemble that of a violin, synth and organ at some places but if tried on any of those other instruments, it is nearly impossible to achieve the same output.
I was not able to find out what family of instruments the Mega Marvin belongs to, but when I locate this information, I will update this page.
