The 525 model in the Pearl 'Quantz' series is the basic model with the addition of a silver lip-plate and riser, enabling students to enjoy all the benefits of a Pearl flute at a more affordable price. This model also features Pearl's 'Brezza' headjoint - the newest addition to the Quantz series, which offers more refinement and fullness of sound throughout the flute range. The 'HC' model features a Heavy Crown to give greater control over the instrument, which will really help to carry the player forward through grades. The design of this versatile basic model enables beginner flute players to concentrate on the essentials of performance, so playing the flute is always great fun!

This model is made from nickel silver with silver plating, giving the flute its shine and at the same time protecting the material from corrosion. 'Quantz' flutes are provided with French pointed key arms, once regarded as solely the domain of handmade flutes, but which are now provided throughout the Pearl range. French key arms afford quickness of speed, offering increased stability and enhancing the quality of the mechanism, a unique feature amongst student flutes. Pearl's patented 'Pinless Mechanism' eliminates the problems of traditional flute construction - protruding needles that snag clothing and give easy entry to perspiration and body acids, and their 'One-Piece Core Bar' design results in a strong and sturdy mechanism. All these features ensure that the flute is easy to maintain and service.

The most striking feature of these flutes is their sound. Pearl has a revered comittment to accuracy of pitch, flexible articulation, and a beautiful, projecting sound which is further enhanced by their dedication to rock solid intonation.
