A great introduction to the piccolo

A good piccolo should be versatile, easy to play, and comfortable to hold - and of course sound great. The Pearl PFP-105ES piccolo ticks all these boxes while rivalling professional-level instruments. Its stable tuning across the range and rich, full-rounded sound set it apart. Crafted from grenaditte - a material prized for its tonal quality, durability, and resistance to humidity and temperature variations - the Pearl PFP-105ES offers an excellent alternative to traditional wood. It also features high-quality pointed arm keys and comes with a French-style case, cork grease, and a cleaning kit, delivering a perfect balance of performance, practicality, and affordability.

Soft pianissimo and punchy forte

The piccolo, often referred to as the flute's "little sister", is celebrated for its agility and unique tonal range, an octave higher than the flute. The PFP-105E delivers both soft, warm pianissimo passages and brilliant, striking fortes in its upper register. Its ability to blend delicate ornamentations with bold, onomatopoeic effects - such as mimicking birdsong or the human voice - has made it a staple in romantic orchestral music and marching bands alike. Its high, penetrating tones add brilliance and clarity to any performance. Additionally, the traditional embouchure of the PFP-105ES adds a little air resistance, slightly modifying playability compared to "wave-style" designs like the Pearl PFP-105E.

Perfect for beginners and beyond

The PFP-105ES is a great choice for beginners and experienced flautists alike. Its stable tuning, crisp response, and wide dynamic range make it an excellent tool for mastering piccolo techniques without being overly demanding. Beginners will appreciate its ease of use and precise intonation, while seasoned players will enjoy its rich sound and expressiveness. Often recommended by teachers, the Pearl PFP-105ES is a favourite among students of the piccolo and a go-to instrument for saxophonists and clarinettists exploring a second instrument.

About Pearl

Over the past fifty years, Pearl's pursuit of perfection and innovation have made the company one of the leading brands in the field of high-quality flutes. The company was founded in 1968 by flute maker Tatsumi Shimoyama in Japan. The patented trademark of all Pearl transverse flutes is the "Pinless" key construction, in which the connecting pins commonly found in other designs are replaced by screw connections, and special "bridge constructions" are also used for added overall strength. In addition, the "One-Piece Core-Bar" provides increased stability and significantly reduces wear. Pearl supplies flutes for all requirements, from high-quality student models to professional-level instruments made of silver or gold for the most exacting players. Many famous flautists, such as Daniela Koch, Juliette Hurel, Benoit Fromanger, and Janos Balint have chosen a Pearl flute.

From marching bands to chamber music

Finding a high-quality, affordable piccolo has historically been a challenge, but Pearl has risen to the occasion with the PFP-105ES. This model surpasses many competitors in sound quality, durability, and ease of use. Whether performing Irish Folk tunes, leading a flute ensemble, or bringing brilliance to marching bands and classical chamber music, the PFP-105E adapts effortlessly to diverse musical genres and settings. With its superior craftsmanship and adaptability, the Pearl PFP-105ES piccolo is a top-tier choice for players seeking excellence in every note.

In the spotlight: Grenaditte

Grenaditte is a composite of wood and plastic, with a density similar to ebony. Known for its excellent sound properties, it is far more resistant to humidity and temperature changes than traditional wood, making it a practical choice for musicians in varying climates. Additionally, grenaditte prevents the instrument from cracking, ensuring long-term durability and consistent performance over time.

Great step-up piccolo
Romalt 09.09.2018
I've had this piccolo for a year now. At first I couldn't a sound below the low f. I tried a few more times, still without result. So I gave the piccolo to a female friend as a "present". After nearly a year she gave it back to me, having had it never played.

This time I tried again and, hey presto, I could a decent sound below the low f. So what happened in the year in between ? I decided to buy a Yamaha YPC -32 beginner model and practiced about two hours a day virtually every day.

So what did I learn from this ? If you're complete beginner or returner after many years, I recommend to buy a beginner model to avoid many wasted hours of frustation, or giving up completely. And, secondly, wait for at least 9 to 12 month before you step-up.

Finally, thirdly, put this piccolo on your wish list if you;re beginner or returner.

It has a semi-professional mellow sound, is made of durable material & the mechanism is excellent for fast play.

Spaß am Spielen! :-)
Günter885 29.06.2013
Für sowohl Anfänger als auch für Fortgeschrittene bietet diese Piccoloflöte viel Spaß am Spielen. Anfangs braucht man etwas Zeit um sich an das Mundstück zu gewöhnen, aber nach einigen Tagen lässt sie sich ganz einfach spielen. Außerdem wurde diese Flöte sehr gut verarbeitet und es sind keine Mängel zu erkennen. Der Klang ist für diese, im Vergleich zu den anderen, billige Flöte überraschend gut. Ich habe Sie seit einingen Wochen und ich kann nichts schlechtes über sie sagen und mir macht es immer noch viel Spaß, darauf zu spielen! :-)
