I can't say for definite, because I don't play the
piccolo, but I think that you can't play a low C on
your piccolo.

Check the fingering for low D. Is every hole in the body
of the piccolo closed? I mean not just the finger holes, but also all holes which might be opened or closed by keys. If so, this is the lowest note the piccolo can sound. There
is no way of making it produce a lower note because you can
only lower the pitch by covering more holes and they are all covered.

I have been playing piccolo for over 3 years now and I hate to tell you that there is no 1st octave "c" on piccolo. D is as low as you go on it.
