About Albert Cooper

Albert Cooper was a British flute maker who apprenticed at Rudall Carte until the war. After discharge, he returned to Rudall Carte but left in 1959 and set himself up as flute maker. Cooper's primary contribution to flute making is the Cooper Scale, where the position and size (opening) of the flute's tone holes have been accurately determined. This has been now universally adopted and is promoted by all the major flute makers. Albert was a founding member of the British Flute Society. He served on the society’s council and was for many years the vice-president. He was a familiar figure at BFS events and at flute events around the world.
