Burkart Elite 998 Silver

Crafted from the finest materials, Burkart is known for uncompromising quality and workmanship.

The 998 silver flute has the tonal depth and color of a platinum flute, but speaks with the shimmer and projection of a silver flute. The resonance of this flute is the result of its extraordinary 99.8% pure silver content. The brilliance of silver, warmth and depth of gold, and projection of platinum are all found in one material. An innovative process produces a tube that is hard and reflective with vibrancy, color and a beautiful distinction in the sound of the new 998 silver Burkart flute.
