Brand: Pearl | Model: PF-500

Flute teachers want a quality flute that is affordable for students. It needs to be reliable and offer great performance so that every new flute student can devlop a great sound and excellent technique. With this in mind, Pearl has introduced the new PF-500 series to meet this need. The PF-500 starts with Pearl's standard 505 model and offers it in one style. It is all silver plated, with offset G (no split E), C foot joint, and standard quantz headjoint cut. Like all Pearl flutes, their exclusive pinless mechanism is at the heart of the mechanics. To save on cost for students, the standard accessories have been changed. The PF-500 comes with just the basics: a plastic hardshell case and a wood cleaning rod. At last an affordable AND high quality flute is available for new flute students! Includes plastic case and cleaning rod only.

Advanced/Conservatory Models

Brand: Pearl | Model: PF-665

When this is matched with our patented Pinless Mechanism and One-Piece Core-Bar Construction, the combinations are dramatic. After all of this time, the Pearl Quantz Series is still the only flute to use these features on every one of their flutes - an industry hallmark!
