See the FAQ post. It has a list of online stores where you can purchase flutes. Some of these sites sell Pearl flutes and should have prices for them.

Because the opera is made to order [as in, they never make one before an order is placed, so as soon as you place your order, & pay a downpayment, they will start making it], you have to call Pearl about pricing.

You can call Fluteworld, but they will have to contact Pearl first. [I tried to order a custom head once, and they had to call Pearl before they could tell me, so it is easier to just call Pearl directly]. But, for that model, you are easily looking at $25-35k, if not more.

For this much, I would suggest a different manufacturer, unless you are solely set on Pearl. Just my 2cents.

edit: Oh, and I hate you because I wish I could own a 14K flute.

Yay for military pay.

A used 14K Powell in excellent condition will net $20k+
