| Lillian Burkart Piccolos |
|
Lillian Burkart has spent decades researching and refining the piccolo. The widely acclaimed Burkart piccolo sets industry standards and is played in many of the world’s top orchestras. In concert with James Phelan, Ms. Burkart continues to apply precise and technically advanced methods to the crafting of piccolos. From the selection and aging of the finest woods, to the tooling of keys and mechanisms, and, finally, to the careful voicing of each instrument, every Burkart piccolo is unsurpassed in tone and playability.
Lillian Burkart Elite Piccolo: Formerly known as the Lillian Burkart piccolo, every Burkart Elite piccolo is made of vintage African grenadilla wood, finished with a sterling silver mechanism and a choice of headjoint. The piccolo scale was revised in 2007 after six months of acoustical experimentation and prototype modeling by Lillian Burkart. Their piccolo scale continues to deliver the full, flute-like sound for which it is heralded. Players will enjoy how easily they can produce the high register and will appreciate the improvements to resonance and articulation in the low register.
Lillian Burkart Professional Piccolo: Formerly known as the Burkart-Phelan piccolo, all Burkart Professional piccolos are made of aged African grenadilla wood, finished with a sterling silver mechanism. The tone hole shaping and venting is designed for ease of play.
