Cantabile silver
CD925 Cantabile
The Cantabile series is a product of Japanese flute craftsmanship, built by hand with the most precision and care. The .925 sterling silver flute is flexibel in its use. With different wall thicknesses the sound clearly gains in volume and strength.
The tone holes of the Cantabile series are always drawn. In this process the tone hole material is formed by pulling up metal from the tube. It changes the inner wall of the instrument and especially playing legato becomes more effortless.
Continuing A Tradition of Innovation, French pointed arms are combined with Pearl's Pinless Mechanism and the One-Piece Core-Bar construction resulting in the highest possible precision.
The most essential acoustical element of every flute is the headjoint, enabling the flutist to control the tone. Therefore not only experience in crafting is needed, but an understanding of the art of flute playing is demanded. In cooperation with world leading flutists like Benoit Fromanger and Janos Balint, the craftsmen at Pearl have designed four exceptional handmade headjoints, making it possible to meet your expectations and find your flute.
The Cantabile is an excellent addition to the world of handmade flutes. Many custom made options are available, just ask us!

These elegant and perfect handmade engravings are possible on the keys and lip-plate.
The Cantabile silver flute is optionally available with gold plating. This brings a warm and dark element in the sound.
The tone holes are available either drawn or soldered.
Pointed arms both increase the stability and enhance the quality of the mechanism.
The Cantabile flute has an optional split E-mechanism that allows for secure attacks and smooth slurs to the third octave E.

All models are available with in-line or off-set G key.
The C# trill key makes many trill fingerings easier and lets the high G#3 speak better. It also improves the intonation of both C#2 and C#3.
The One-Piece Core-Bar construction results in more playing comfort and less wear of the mechanism.
The G/A trill key makes the G3/A3 trill speak better (not possible in combination with the C# trill key).
The Pinless Mechanism ensures the stable connection of the mechanism and prevents it from corrosion.
The ergonomic D# roller simplifies movement of the right hand little finger.
Optionally available with C-foot or B-foot.
