Product Reviews: Pearl PF-505 "Quantz" Flute

Purchased the Pearl PF505 "Quantz" flute on behalf of a student, whose relatives had me demonstrate it's capabilities! I must admit, i was not expecting it to be so good right across it's compass. I wish i had owned a flute as good as this when i was starting off - needless to say, pupil was extremely happy!

Had to upgrade my daughters flute and the Pearl was recommended by her flute teacher.
The sound is great and a pleasure to play.
It arrived within 24 hours, beautifully wrapped and well protected. Excellent service.

First of all would like to mention that when I called up for some advice, there was no pressure and a genuine interest in getting the right instrument as a present for my wife. A great company to deal with. Delivery was next day which was great too. The flute itself seems to work very well and is very nicely made with a high standard of finish on all components. The tone of the instrument is very good - smooth and 'full' sounding.
The case it comes in is also great quality. It seems to be a well engineered and beautifully finished instrument for a beginner/intermediate flute and though my flute expertise is limited, I can see that it's a great investment and should last a good few years.
