Levit

Seeking a new challenge, Mr. Levit left Powell in 1999 to work for Brannen Brothers Flutemakers, and for the next 11 years he honed his skills with several successful projects. In 2010 he decided to leave Brannen to pursue his dream of designing and handcrafting his own flute — two years later, he established the Levit Flute Company. Mr. Levit is set apart by both his diverse experience and stellar reputation. His craftmanship is informed both by a mechanical engineering background, and his ability to custom design the precision tools and devices required to fabricate precious metal flutes of exceptional quality.

    Constructed from only the highest quality materials and built using the most precise manufacturing processes, the Levit Standard Flute is one of the finest flutes available. Scales and headjoint designs can be traced directly back to the work of Albert Cooper. Nearly all of the keywork was designed by Bickford Brannen for the Oston-Brannen flute — and is both comfortable and strong. The Levit Standard Flute meets the highest expectations of today’s flutists.

    Specifications:

    A .018 thickness sterling silver tube and soldered toneholes are paired with a silver headjoint and a rose-gold 14K riser. An offset G, B foot, and C# trill key with split E mechanism complete the instrument.

    This is a Modified Acoustic Levit - for the flutist who desires a freer, more open and less dense air flow. Players may notice more consistency and less interruption between each octave. The instrument will respond more quickly to subtle and immediate dynamic changes. Flexibility, power and variations to tonal colors can be achieved with ease and less effort.

    Available by special order only.
