CUSTOM HANDMADE FLUTES
Each handmade Burkart Elite Soldered and Professional Drawn flute is custom designed to the player’s specification, enabling the artist to push the boundaries of performance with full voice and limitless technical possibilities.
595 PLATINUM ENHANCED SILVER
Made from 5% pure platinum and 95% pure silver with a wall thickness of 0.016″, this flute delivers an increased spectrum of color commonly found with platinum, but with considerably less weight. Combining focused sound and ample projection, the tonal intensity is greater than with sterling silver.
LEGENDARY SOUND
Burkart’s signature sound is robust with a commanding presence and ample projection. The Burkart Scale, a modified-Cooper scale perfected for evenness and stability of pitch, is the cornerstone of all Burkart flutes. High-karat gold solders and contemporary pads enhance stability and beauty of sound.
EXTRAORDINARY FEEL
MICRO-LINK™ FULLY-PINLESS MECHANISM
Burkart’s innovative micro-Link™ architecture provides unmatched stability and elegance. Two 14K white gold rods reduce the weight of the mechanism and allow for light and balanced tension throughout with lightning-fast response.
ERGONOMIC KEY DESIGN
Burkart’s key design offers unmatched comfort and ease. The sculpted curves of the thumb key and lever are angled to reduce left-hand strain and make the slide from B to Bb effortless. The movement from D# to each of the three lowest notes of the flute is easy and fluid.
PRECISION KEYWORK AND ACTION
Cut from solid silver or gold, each Burkart key cup perfectly centres the flute pad, ensuring stability and reliability. White gold springs and felt bumpers allow for a perfectly balanced feel and silent key action.
