Piccolos

Since 1888, Wm. S. Haynes have been chosen by flutists both for the craftsmanship as well as for 'that sound', a rich, colorful tone with a beautiful core. The Amadeus AP-86 Grenadilla wood piccolo continues the Haynes legacy with a piccolo that is distinctively Haynes.

Each Amadeus AP-86 piccolo comes standard with an Amadeus Grenadilla wood headjoint with your choice of a Traditional or Wave style, a Grenadilla wood body, silver-plated mechanism with Stainless Steel springs, and a split-E mechanism.

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. Each Burkart piccolo is crafted with these features and techniques:

Wood -  African grenadilla wood alone meets our requirements for acoustical warmth, hardness, density and, with proper management, stability. The world's finest grenadilla is selected for the Burkart piccolo. Our aging process is unmatched and includes selection, curing, turning, drilling and, most of all, time.

Scale and Voicing - The Burkart piccolo scale has been developed to produce the most in-tune scale possible without compromise to the full, flute-like sound for which it is heralded. In 2007 Lillian Burkart set out to once again revolutionize the piccolo, and a new scale was born using modification in toneholes and bore. Showcased at the 2007 National Flute Convention, this updated scale was received with overwhelming compliments.

Mechanism -  All keywork, ribs and posts are made of Sterling silver. Burkart's precision and craftsmanship ensure stability, longevity and low maintenance.

Ergonomic Key Work - A slightly offset G fingerbutton 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.

Pads - All Burkart Elite piccolos are now standard with Straubinger piccolo pads custom made to Burkart specifications. Cork pads are recommended in the trill and G# keys.

Split E mechanism - All Burkart Elite Deluxe piccolos come standard with a split E mechanism.

Headjoint Styles

Burkart - The rectangular shape of this embouchure is slightly overcut at the sides of the embouchure hole for an open, "flute-like" sound that blends well in ensembles. A most flexible headjoint style, it can be pushed to the extremes of fortissimo high notes without being shrill, and can produce a colorful, sustained diminuendo.

Clarion - This relatively small embouchure hole, with modest rounding of the edges, is reminiscent of early French and German piccolos. The tone it produces is very focused and sweet. For players using a small aperture when playing, it will have the most stable, clear tone of the various headjoint styles. Also available in Sterling silver or 14k gold.

Wave - The headjoint profile is carved with a slightly higher front wall (the blowing edge) and lower back wall against which the chin rests. It produces a very rich, clean, projecting tone, with easy control of dynamics. The low register is very focused, enabling good projection and articulation.

Mancke - Mancke headjoints are now available on Burkart flutes and piccolos. Please call for availability and price.
