Just Flutes Description
We now consider the Pearl 505 to be the best student flute available, and recommend it above other makes in this category. Pearl have redesigned the old PF501 from the bottom up, with completely new mechanism and headjoint design. The result - the PF-505 "Quantz" flute - is now the single highest-spec silver-plated student flute available. As far as value-for-money goes, this is unbeatable.

With features such as Pearl's pinless mechanism, pointed key-arms, and a new headjoint design, this flute plays incredibly well. We've found that beginners can produce a strong, clear tone very easily; and advanced players find there's still enough depth to the sound to be able to play more demanding music.

Using the same excellent body as the PF505E, this flute is supplied with both a curved headjoint - to reduce the stretch for small players - and straight headjoint, for when they grow. The case has enough space for both headjoints and comes with a plush-lined case cover with shoulder strap.

Manufacturer’s Description
"The Quantz Series embodies ingenuity. Only this line of flutes covers as much diversity of flute making talent. Aspiring flautists have never been so fortunate.

"Every Quantz model has French Pointed Arms. Once considered solely the domain of handmade flutes, it is now universally provided by Pearl. French Pointed Arms afford unmatched quickness of speed. When this is matched with the patented Pinless Mechanism, the combinations are dramatic. After all this time, the Pearl Quantz Series is still the only flute to use these features on every one of their flutes – an industry hallmark!

"However, the most striking feature of Pearl Flutes is their sound, and artists continually remark about the beauty and subtlety of the Quantz Series. This is further enhanced by Peal’s equal dedication to rock solid intonation."
