Beautiful Mint Condition Lillian Burkart Headjoint For Sale

Post by sidekicker »

I have a really beautiful Lillian Burkart headjoint that I have to sell. I would never part with this head if not for the fact that I just bought another new silver head and now cannot justify keeping both. Here are the specs:

Sterling silver (tube and lip plate)
14k riser
M2 Style
Purchased brand new in 2006; I have been the only owner.
Asking $1850.00 (to get the same head now would cost $2030.00), but will consider reasonable offers
Very brilliant sound with excellent response and projection in all registers (particularly in the low register); also has wide array of tone colours available (which makes it a great pair for a silver flute with a bright sound where you need on occasion a darker golden colour; in fact, that's the reason I bought it -- to pair with my '67 thin-walled silver Haynes
Mint condition; not a single scratch, dent or ding on it
Has never been fitted to another flute

Anybody interested, please contact me by PM or email me at BurkartHead(at)aol(dot)com. I plan to have pics of it up very soon -- hopefully by this weekend. USA transactions only.

Thanks!
SK
