Piccolo Woodblocks
(Wood Blocks, Bloc en Bois, Holzblock, Cassettina di Legno)
Mfg. by Unknown
Emil Richards’ piccolo woodblocks are chromatically tuned and span a 2-octave range. He bought them from Pro Drum Shop in Hollywood in the 1970s, as the uniqueness of the instrument combined with the keyboard layout was appealing. Due to the diminutive size of these woodblocks, Emil often used small, hard mallets or even triangle beaters when playing them.
