The Lillian Burkart 5-95 flute is made from a unique alloy of 5% pure platinum and 95% pure silver, with a wall thickness of 0.016". The flute has some of the tonal properties of platinum, but with considerably less weight. A strong, focussed sound with a dark colour, rich in lower harmonics. This flute is very different to Sterling silver flutes.
Burkart Flutes was founded in 1982 by Lillian Burkart and James Phelan while they were both employees of the Verne Q. Powell company. They have grown, yet continued to be a small company with a focus on stability, quality and performance. The Burkart name is trusted worldwide for these traits. They are proud to combine 21st century technology with 2.5 decades of expertise and superior customer service.
