With a silver purity of 97%, this head joint is one of the highest purity of silver head joints available on the market, which translates into an extremely lively, exuberant sound. The Vivace-cut headjoint design offers slightly more resistance than Forte style and gives a more open and clear tone.

This headjoint features a gold plated lipplate, riser and crown as well as a gold-plated inside of the tube for a more complex, warmer sound.

 

About Pearl

Pearl is a traditional Japanese brand that produces flutes, piccolo, alto- and bass flutes and flute headjoints. Pearl Flutes was founded in 1968 in Chiba (near Tokyo) and is part of the Pearl Musical Instrument Company, which is also known for percussion instruments.

The Pearl slogan, A Tradition of Innovation, is well chosen: Essentially, Pearl is a traditional Japanese company, with most employees working their entire career at the company. Young talented students are selected and trained by the most experienced master builders in the company, so the accumulated experience will never be lost. In addition to this focus on tradition, Pearl does a lot of research into material alloys with precious metals such as gold and silver, but also constantly works on improvements in ergonomics and headjoint designs.

Being one of the larger, known Japanese flute brands, Pearl produces a wide spectrum of flutes from  affordable and well-constructed student-flutes, to precious high-quality handmade flutes and wonderful headjoints.

Pearl Headjoints

The most essential acoustic element of each flute is the headjoint. For this reason alone, every headjoint must be handmade. This endeavor is left to the most accomplished foremost craftsmen at Pearl. Experience with not only crafting is needed, but an understanding of the art of flute playing is demanded. All of these headjoint workers are accomplished flautists themselves, having experienced years of both playing and listening.  

Pearl headjoints are available in different materials combinations and come in different cuts,  to suit the wishes of many different players.

Fitting this Pearl headjoint to your flute

There are no global standards for the size of the connection between headjoint and flute. Even flutes and headjoints of the same brand will not always fit perfectly. Fortunately, our flute repairman can make almost any headjoint fit your flute. This service is free of charge, but for this we need your flute in our shop to fit.
