The Dolce 695RE is an affordable handmade open-hole flute crafted by flute makers working in the world-famous tradition of Japanese flute building. The sterling silver 'Forza' headjoint combines a light response, precise articulation, a wide spectrum of tone colours and a big dynamic range. It retains all the features of a standard student/intermediate flute including an offset G and split E mechanism, but the build quality and open-hole key mechanism gears it towards the advanced player.
All Pearl student and intermediate flutes have French-pointed keys (with a pointed key arm extending to the centre of the key cup), something usually found only on intermediate and professional instruments. They also benefit from other unique design features which contribute to a smooth and reliable key mechanism.
