The PREFERRED Series of Flutes may be our most rewarding achievement. The Series is designed for the flute mass market, which could include first time flutists, an interested amateur, or even a doubler who plays many instruments. This very important community must not be compromised by a substandard product. Pearl has elected to make the Preferred Series worthy of any flutist. Some of the reasons why the Preferred Series is so accomplished:

Sound - A Pearl trademark. Our tradition of creating beauty of sound in our handmade flutes has given us the skill to design this vintage of flutes.
Headjoint option - this allows the flutist to find the exact personality for their situation.
Intonation - from the most projecting of concert sounds to the most delicate subtle nuances - pitch stability is maintained.
Mechanism - Pearl uses a Pinless Mechanism and One-Piece Core Bar construction.
Open Hole option - all of the Open Hole flutes are supplied with plugs in the holes, which can be popped out later to covert to open hole, and vice-versa.
Offset or Inline option - Each hand shape and size is made workable.
Low B Foot option - Anything is now possible with this series. A “gizmo” key is added with the B-foot option as well.
Split-E option - for the “perfect” high-E!
French Style Case - for the ideal fit of the flute, and the look of elegance.
Case Cover - not just cloth, but fleece lined and with zippered pouch.

The Preferred Model 501 is constructed completely of Nickel Silver and a long-lasting Silver coating is applied for protection. There are many models available and options include a curved headjoint.

The Quantz Series embodies ingenuity. Only this line of flutes covers as much diversity of flute making talent. Aspiring flutists have never been so fortunate

Every Quantz model has French Pointed Arms. Once considered solely the domain of handmade flutes, it is now universally provided by Pearl. French Pointed Arms afford unmatched quickness of speed. 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!

The Quantz Series has now expanded to include three Models. All of them feature Pearl’s French Pointed Arms, Pinless Mechanism and One-Piece Core-Bar.

The 765 Series has a Sterling Silver Headjoint, Body and Footjoint, with Silver Clad Keys.

The 665 Series has a Sterling Silver Headjoint, with Silver Clad Body, Footjoint and Keys.

The 525 Series has a Sterling Silver Lip and Riser, with Silver Clad Headjoint, Body, Footjoint and Keys.

The QUANTZ-CODA Series can be ordered to enhance the 765 and 665 Models. In addition to the above features, the QUANTZ-CODA models feature a Solid 10K Gold Lip, C# Trill Key and D# Roller.
