A piccolo is smaller than a flute and has a higher tone.

But if what you are describing is a medieval instrument, there were a BUTTLOAD of those that are pretty much extinct today.

Edit:

I found this page that goes into pretty good detail about historical woodwinds.

My personal favorite is the krumhorn

You might be describing a transverse rennaissance flute.
