{"product_id":"pearl-flute-201s-alto-quantz-tete-droite-patte-d-ut-170860","title":"201S Alto Quantz - Straight Headjoint + C Foot","description":"\u003ch3\u003ePearl: Japanese Innovation Serving Flutists\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecognized for its technical choices as bold as they are relevant, Pearl has built its reputation on meticulous craftsmanship and constant pursuit of mechanical reliability. The brand relies on artisanal know-how passed down within its factory in Chiba, Japan, through an internal apprenticeship program: an approach that ensures consistent quality, from student models to the most demanding instruments. This alto flute fully embodies this philosophy by combining comfort, intonation, and robustness to support the musician over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFor Which Musicians and Styles?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe alto flute is a preferred choice for \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to advanced\u003c\/strong\u003e flutists who wish to expand their instrumentarium and explore a lower register than the C flute. It naturally fits in \u003cstrong\u003eorchestras\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eflute ensembles\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003echamber music\u003c\/strong\u003e, where its role as the \"alto voice\" brings depth, warmth, and harmonic support. It is also very suitable for \u003cstrong\u003econtemporary\u003c\/strong\u003e repertoires and \u003cstrong\u003efilm music\u003c\/strong\u003e textures, whenever a darker and enveloping color is sought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound and Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTuned in \u003cstrong\u003eG\u003c\/strong\u003e, this Pearl alto flute delivers a broad sound with a solid foundation in the low register and very convincing projection for an instrument of this range. The headjoint design promotes \u003cstrong\u003eease of sound production\u003c\/strong\u003e and quick response, useful for stabilizing note attacks and gaining homogeneity across registers. The presence of a \u003cstrong\u003e925 sterling silver lip plate\u003c\/strong\u003e contributes to articulation finesse and spectral richness, while the construction in \u003cstrong\u003esilver-plated nickel silver\u003c\/strong\u003e (headjoint, body, and mechanism) provides durability and consistency, with a pleasant touch. The \u003cstrong\u003eclosed-hole keys\u003c\/strong\u003e offer a reassuring grip and stable sealing, appreciated on an alto flute where breath control is particularly demanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRecommended Compatible Accessories\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo preserve intonation and mechanism smoothness, a \u003cstrong\u003ecleaning rod\u003c\/strong\u003e (included) remains essential after each session. You can also add \u003cstrong\u003emicrofiber cloths\u003c\/strong\u003e for the exterior and \u003cstrong\u003epad cleaning papers\u003c\/strong\u003e to limit moisture on the keys without risking damage to the \u003cstrong\u003edouble-skin pads\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:7;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eFlute\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHead\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eSilver-plated brass\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:8;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eG\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLip Plate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eZiricote\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:9;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHole\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eHollow\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFoot\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eB\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:4;--wb-r:10;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMecanics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eSilver-plated German silver\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded accessories\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eCase + Cover + Swab -
