Burkart Headjoints

Lillian Burkart's hand-cut headjoints provide the hallmark projection and response of the Burkart & Phelan flute. They are identical to those made for the Burkart flute. One of two styles can be chosen for the instrument.

  • The C4 embouchure is a classic cut, producing a warm, round, sweet sound. It is noted for its fluidity and flexibility in slurring wide intervals. The player will enjoy homogeneity in all three octaves and a wide palate of colors and timbre. The stability and ease of play allow for nuance within a wide range of colors and dynamics.
  • The unique Burkart M2 cut is Lillian Burkart's most innovative. 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.
