Silver-plated headjoint, body, and footjoint





As part of the Quantz Series, the 505E1R’s construction yields a sweet, lyrical tone with ample projection. Its easy-to-play nature is thanks in part to the silver-plated TPH5J headjoint, which facilitates good playing habits from the get-go. Flutists at Sweetwater all love this flute’s extensive color palette, which comes from the brilliant design of the silver-plated body and footjoint. It’s free-blowing design facilitates nuanced articulations that accommodates both advanced and aspiring players.





Pinless construction and 1-piece core-bar





For over 50 years, Pearl Flutes have distinguished themselves with a commitment to innovation. Case in point, their unique 1-piece core-bar construction, which mitigates the wear and tear that occurs on flutes constructed using traditional techniques. Pearl Flutes' 1-piece core-bar extends from the high C to the king post to provide players with a durable and reliable mechanism that guarantees a comfortable playing experience, not to mention one that is easier to service. Additionally, every Pearl Flutes utilizes the company’s patented pinless construction, eliminating common issues flutists face with traditional instruments, like snagging their clothes on protruding needles or having their instruments subjected to damage caused by perspiration build-up and corrosion.
