Burkart Elite 5-95 Platinum-Enhanced Silver

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

The 5-95 body and headjoint are made from 5% pure platinum and 95% pure silver, with a wall thickness of 0.016″. The flute delivers an increased range or spectrum of color as with gold or platinum, but with considerably less weight. Combining focused sounds and good projection, the dynamics and intensity are greater than sterling silver.

Flute Headjoints:
Lillian Burkart’s hand-cut headjoints provide the hallmark projection and response of the Burkart flute. One of two styles can be chosen for the instrument.

S4 – This embouchure, 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 – Lillian Burkart’s most innovative cut. The air stream is quickly excited and the player achieves exceptional response and projection. All three octaves have a ringing resonance and a dark core. An unprecedented dynamic range and flexibility make this headjoint the choice for all music styles.
