Pearl Piccolo – Grenaditte 105E with Omni Pads

Pearl Piccolo – 105E with Omni Pads
Full Synthetic Durability

The Pearl Piccolo series is most known for the PFP-105E model which features a proprietary “Grenaditte” composite material for the headjoint and the body. This material offers better stability than wood, as it is impervious to temperature & climate fluctuations, yet still possesses a more complex tone than a plastic model. The 105E model is also available setup with either traditional skin pads or with the upgraded synthetic Omni pads that are used in the 165E model. These Pearl 105E Piccolos with Omni pads are the ultimate performance & durability combination!

OMNI Pads – Enhanced Durability & Performance!
Pearl originally outfitted their upgraded model, the 165E, with the OmniPads from Kraus. These pads were a marked upgrade in performance due to the harder overall density with a thin synthetic surface material. Part of that benefit is the harder plastic backing that accounts for the majority of the pad’s construction & density. This means that less of the softer pad material (the sealing part of the pad) is present so less acoustic absorption happens at the pad and more is reflected outwards. So aside from the OmniPad improving durability with less impact from heat or moisture, the OmniPad also helps improve response and projection from the Pearl 105E piccolo design.

Headjoint Cuts
Pearl offers 2 different headjoint models for their piccolo. The Wave & the Standard. The wave helps to facilitate more air in to the body of the piccolo thus improving response and overall upper register performance. The Standard cut will require more from the player which generally will give a bit mellower tone, but be more difficult to obtain precise response in the upper range of the piccolo. For most customers, the sacrifice of the slightly brighter tone of the wave headjoint is worth the massive improvement in performance and response, which is why we overwhelming recommend the wave headjoint to our customers.
