The "Let's Talk Picc" column of Flute Talk magazine recently printed two good sources: Jan Gippo's alternate fingering chart and Morgan Williams' trill chart.
It is truly worth the effort to learn which fingerings work best on your instrument-- both you and your conductor will be pleased with the results!
In addition, you can refer to Stephen Tanzer's A Basic Guide to Fingerings for the Piccolo.
.Piccolo enthusiasts should be aware that a comprehensive publication devoted to principal and alternate fingerings of the piccolo is slated to appear in print by the end of the year 2001.
