Lillian Burkart "Elite Model" Flute in .998 Pure Silver - New

$20,000.00 USD

Burkart Headjoint Cuts

Burkart offers two headjoint styles: S4 cut and M2 cut.

S4 Cut Headjoint

The S4 Cut, derived from a traditional style, produces a pure, warm sound. It is noted for its flexibility in air stream direction and expressiveness. The player will experience evenness in all three octaves, and effortless articulation. The stability and ease of play allow for nuances within a wide pallet of color creating a sound full of brilliant richness and depth.

M2 Cut Headjoint

The M2 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 an energetic and direct sound. This style provides a distinctive resonating core throughout all three registers of the flute. The M2 model produces a robust tone and an unprecedented dynamic range.

My New Lillian Burkart “Elite Model” Flute in .998 Silver!

I always skipped over the name “Burkart” when I was shopping for my “Dream Flute.” WOW! Was I ever wrong to do this! “The Flute Center of New York” sent me the Lillian Burkart “Elite Model” Flute in .998 Silver, and when I first played it, my husband said my face said it all; “the flute had chosen the flutist” (Just like the wand chose Harry Potter in the book and film)! The flute has the “Micro-Link” System which allows the keys to be so quiet and effortlessly to play. I am thrilled with the responsiveness of this flute, and its tonal quality is beautiful! I am so grateful I found this flute or as I wrote before, “this flute found me” *Idea taken from Harry Potter Books.
