The Quantz 665 Series flute comes with a French style case and cleaning rod. The Unique Pearl Sound Artists continually remark about the sound's beauty and subtlety, which is further enhanced through Pearl's equal dedication to rock-solid intonation. In addition, the technological advancements on each flute allow flawless shifts from the most projecting of concert sounds to the most delicate subtle nuances. Pinless Construction All of this attention to the character of the Pearl sound and intonation would not be possible without their equal dedication to reliability. In 1982, Pearl's innovative technicians created their patented one-piece core-bar and pinless construction; perpetual smoothness of the key action became a reality. Quantz Series Special Wall The Quantz Series flutes are enhanced by a unique wall that gives a dark and rich sound, especially in the low register.
