About
Each handmade Burkart Elite flute enables the artist to push the boundaries of performance with full voice and limitless technical possibilities. 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 the stability and beauty of sound.
Elite Flute Technical Specifications Explained
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.
Burkart BAM Case
Beautifully designed with a durable ABS exterior and black velvet interior, our Burkart BAM Case is made using the BAM Hightech technique: a triple-layer structure with high-performance materials. The interior features high-density polyurethane foam for excellent shock absorption.
It has a male/female airtight seal and a single flat latch with a lock and key. The standard case size fits perfectly in our signature Burkart leather case cover.
