Are flute and piccolo fingering the same?

Are fingerings different for flute and piccolo? The basic fingerings are the same for both instruments, but alternate fingerings exist to adjust the intonation or responsiveness of some problematic notes on the piccolo.

How do you play C on piccolo?

Unlike the flute, most piccolos have a range only to low D. So, unless you buy a very rare or custom piccolo, there are not many options for low C. You can try rolling a piece of paper and sticking into the end of the piccolo. If you do that, play a low D and adjust the length of the tube until it sounds a low C.
