PEARL
Pearl's handmade craftsmanship has pioneered a tradition of flute making that is totally distinctive. Most of the artisans have the distinction of building flutes for their entire career only at Pearl. The apprentice program has been employed for decades, which allows the talents of master builders to be passed on to future generations. We do not only look to the past, but constantly conduct research with Gold, Silver, ergonomic key design, and headjoint study.
Start with Pearl's patented Pinless Mechanism, which has set an industry benchmark for smoothness and reliability. Coupled with Pearl's One-Piece Core-Bar Construction, there is no more dependable flute mechanism available.
Japanese Quality Control has insured that an investment in these instruments will provide a lifetime of musical satisfaction. The goal of hand-made creativity united with meticulous assembly is consequently realized. All of the above would be useless without Pearl's revered commitment to accuracy of pitch, flexible articulation, and a beautiful and projecting sound.
The Quantz Series embodies ingenuity, innovation, and diversity, and that is totally unique in the flute making industry.
Every Quantz model has French pointed arms, a feature once considered solely the domain of handmade flutes. Pearl provides this upgraded feature right across our range along with our Pinless Mechanism and One-Piece Core-Bar Construction. The ingenious yet simple design affords even the student or amateur player with an exceptionally efficient and dependable mechanism – another industry first. Aspiring flute players have never been so fortunate.

The First Grenaditte Piccolo for Unmatched quality and Value in Any Climate
Our remarkable Piccolo PFP-105 was the culmination of years of exploration and research into the creation of a truly revolutionary material – Grenaditte. Precise pitch, an exquisite tone, and a spacious dynamic range are all to be found within this truly innovative instrument. Grenaditte echoes all the positive qualities of wood in appearance, weight, density, and feel.
Unlike wood, Grenaditte is impervious to shock, temperature, and moisture fluctuation. Since its launch in 2006, esteemed professional players and music industry experts the world over have greeted the Pearl Piccolo as a phenomenon.
In 2010 the PFP-165 was launched featuring a natural Granadilla wood headjoint, and high quality synthetic pads (which are now also available on the 105 model) gaining Pearl the enviable position of straddling the student, intermediate and professional piccolo market. As with the entire Pearl Flute range, the PFP-105 and PFP-165 are manufactured with our world-renowned Pinless Mechanism and are the only piccolos on the market to feature this innovation.
