Designed with playing ability in mind, the flute's Split E mechanism allows you to play the difficult top E – typically a weak and unreliable note – with much more ease and consistency. The flute is also made using Pearl's innovative Pinless construction and One-Piece Core Bar, providing you with an extremely comfortable feel as well as avoiding many of the usual wear and tear problems associated with traditionally made flutes.

The flute features an extended "B" foot joint, which allows the instrument to play notes down to a low B, a semitone below the lowest note of the standard "C" foot joint. In addition to improving the instrument's range, the longer tube adds a bit more resistance as you play, giving the flute a darker, smoother tone.
