Pearl Flute 105E C - Moustache Head + Gut

Pearl: a benchmark in flutes, meticulously crafted in piccolo form

The Pearl brand is globally recognized for the quality of its flute manufacturing and the consistency of its mechanics. This approach is reflected in its piccolos: careful design, clean finishes, and a musician-oriented philosophy to provide a reliable instrument for daily use. Designed to support long-term practice, this Pearl piccolo flute balances robustness, intonation, and comfort while remaining faithful to the standards expected in a section.

For which musician and styles?

This piccolo flute is particularly aimed at intermediate to advanced flutists (and ensemble musicians) seeking an instrument ready for rehearsals, concerts, and outdoor performances. In orchestras and wind ensembles, the piccolo adds brilliance and prominence above the tutti, while in marching bands and parade music, its natural projection helps it cut through the ensemble. Its key of C also facilitates the transition from the concert flute without relearning basic fingerings.

Sound and design

The piccolo is distinguished by a bright tone, a clear attack, and strong projection capability. Here, the Grenaditte body contributes to a stable response and a solid feel, useful when the instrument is pushed in the upper register. The mustache headjoint corresponds to a traditional embouchure design, intended to promote direct sound production and precise breath control. The closed-hole keys provide a comfortable finger rest and reassurance during fast passages. The split E mechanism is a reliability asset: it helps secure certain passages around the E note by making the mechanics more coherent in delicate fingerings. Finally, the double-skin pads contribute to airtightness and consistent response, two key points for maintaining clean intonation and uniformity across registers.

Recommended compatible accessories

To complement daily maintenance, a microfiber cloth (for exterior finishing) is a simple and universal option. An instrument stand can also be useful during rehearsals, provided you choose a model explicitly compatible with piccolo.
