Our Description

Known particuarly for their piccolos, Burkart flutes are just as stunning. Featuring a fully pinless microlink architecture, the mechanism is light under the fingers, and the flute itself is light to hold and a joy to play. With a choice of two very different and exciting headjoint styles, and stable tuning (the Burkart scale is an adapted Cooper scale), this flute should be on your "must-try" list.

Headjoint cuts

S4

Derived from a classic cut, the S4 headjoint (previously known as the Acton style) produces a warm, round, full-bodied sound. It is noted for its fluidity and flexibility in slurring wide intervals. The player will enjoy homogeneity in all three octaves, and even into the fourth register. The stability and ease of play allow for nuance within a wide range of colours and dynamics.

M2

This unique cut is Lillian Burkart's most innovative. The air stream is quickly excited and the player achieves exceptional response and projection. The embouchure shape focuses the tone, resulting in a clear, clean, and very directed flute sound. All three octaves have a ringing resonance and a dark core. The M2 model provides an unprecedented dynamic range and powerful low register.
