Description
The Pearl PFP-165E Piccolo is a high-performance instrument designed for advanced and professional musicians. Building upon the foundation of the PFP-105E model, the 165E introduces premium materials and features that enhance tonal quality and durability.
Key Features
- Headjoint: The PFP-165E boasts a Grenadilla wood headjoint with a high-wave (bulb) design, offering a rich, warm tone and improved projection. This headjoint style is favored by many professional players for its tonal focus and ease of articulation.
- Body: Crafted from Grenaditte, a proprietary composite material developed by Pearl, the body is lightweight, impervious to temperature and humidity fluctuations, and resistant to cracking. This ensures consistent performance in various environmental conditions. ​
- Mechanism: Equipped with Pearl’s pinless mechanism, the piccolo features silver-plated nickel-silver keys with French pointed arms, providing smooth action and enhanced durability. ​
- Pads: The 165E utilizes Omnipads, synthetic pads that are waterproof and skinless, offering exceptional stability and performance compared to traditional felt pads.
- Additional Features: Includes a split-E mechanism for improved articulation of the high E note and a French-style case with a fleece-lined cover for protection and convenience. ​

The combination of the Grenadilla wood headjoint and Grenaditte body provides the PFP-165E with a rich, complex sound that advanced players seek. The high-wave headjoint design facilitates focused air delivery, resulting in a clear and articulated tone with excellent projection. The use of Omnipads ensures consistent pad seating and longevity, reducing maintenance needs. ​
