Burkart Phelan Piccolos
A piccolo player, Lillian Burkart has spent decades researching and refining the petit flute. The widely acclaimed Burkart piccolo sets industry standards, and is played in many of the world's top ensembles. In concert with James Phelan, Ms. Burkart continues to apply precise and technically sound methods to the crafting of piccolos. From the selection and aging of the finest woods to the careful voicing of each instrument, every Burkart piccolo is unsurpassed in tone and playability.
Lillian Burkart Custom (Y Arms) or Deluxe (French Arms): These piccolos are handmade with the highest quality materials and craftsmanship worthy of their name. The most flawless, well-aged grenadilla is used, with solid silver keywork and mechanism, gold springs, and the world-renowned Burkart scale. A slightly offset G finger button and subtle modifications to the right hand and D# lever position, as well as new engineering of the thumb keys, aid comfort and technical facility for players with large or small hands. Headjoint choices include Modified Wave, Burkart or Clarion.
Burkart & Phelan: Hand crafted in Boston, Burkart & Phelan piccolos are conical bore, professional instruments with sterling silver keys and precision pad installation and regulation. They feature aged grenadilla, gold springs, a sleek new body design, acoustically engineered tone holes and bore, the renowned Burkart scale for superior intonation, and pads custom made for Burkart & Phelan. Your choice of a Standard or Wave cut headjoint, or upgrade to a Lillian headjoint.
Global: The Global piccolo by Burkart & Phelan combines the reliability, reputation and quality of a Burkart instrument with a very competitive price. It is the most exceptional piccolo value available to any player, marching band or orchestra - a hand crafted piccolo that is both in tune and easy to play. Crafted from aged grenadilla wood and matched with a hand crafted Wave or Standard cut grenadilla headjoint, Global piccolos stand out from similarly-priced instruments. Standard features include gold springs, split-E mechanism, and the superior intonation inherent in the exclusive Burkart scale.
