Just Flutes Description
The design of the Pearl PFP-105E piccolo is based on the legendary Hans Reiner piccolos, which are sought by professional players the world over. Compared to other instruments in this price range (and, in fact, some more expensive piccolos), the Pearl model produces a well-centred sound with good intonation. This piccolo is so good that many professional orchestral players use a Pearl 105 as their second instrument.

Grenaditte
Grenaditte is a recent discovery in terms of musical instruments: a form of plastic, it has the tonal qualities of Grenadilla-wood (the traditional wood used for making piccolos), and a large dynamic range, along with precise pitch. It is also impervious to temperature fluctuations, meaning it won't crack, and ensuring a consistent performance every time.

Compare against the Yamaha YPC62, Burkart & Phelan "Global" and Phillipp Hammig piccolo.
