Burkart instruments are known for their resonance, fluidity of control and extremes in tonal color and dynamic range. Founded in 1982 by Lillian Burkart and James Phelan, the Burkart mission is to allow the flutist to push boundaries by giving full voice and limitless technical possibilities to the instrument. Today, these world-class flutes and piccolos are played by students, teachers, amateurs and professionals around the world. Every Burkart flute, piccolo and headjoint truly embodies the motto: “The Sound and Feel of Great Design.”
