I tried playing the piccolo once, I couldn't get any sound out of it ^^
An irish flute has open holes, they're wider apart, you have to blow harder, the sound is really different (more enchanting, if you ask me) and it's made of wood. And off course the kind of music you play on it is different, too: Irish folk music. You can play less notes on it, too, but if you play irish music you don't need those notes so that's not a problem. It's a great difference. You have to play more ornaments, and play more by ear and less by what's on your sheetmusic. Especially the last thing is hard, but I love it. Gives a sence of freedom, really

The piano is a great instrument! Maybe I'll try to learn it too, one day, we'll see There's some really beautifull piano music around. If you like the piano, I think you should try to learn it
