The Levit
Standard Flute
>> Constructed from only the highest quality materials and built using the most
precise manufacturing processes, the Levit Standard Flute (at right in gold)
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, and a
full range of options is available at a reasonable cost.
“No flutist seeking to purchase a premium
quality instrument can afford to make a
decision without first trying the Levit Flute.
BICKFORD W. BRANNEN

“The Levit Flute is a very welcome arrival –
a beautifully engineered and handmade
instrument at an affordable price that will firmly
place the versatile Kingma System into the
mainstream of flute playing.”

The Levit
Kingma System Flute
>> The Levit Kingma System Flute (above in silver) is a Boehm flute with a B foot,
C♯ trill, and six extra keys. The extra keys plus the five open hole cups and the
C♯ trill allow for the accurate playing of quartertones. However, it much more
than a quartertone flute. The extra keys offer a vastly expanded range of
multiphonics, and provide an almost infinite number of pitch shading
possibilities to deal with intonation at different dynamic
levels. The additional keys are unobtrusive, intuitively
positioned, and easy to reach. All other keys are exactly
where they are on any standard open hole flute. The
Levit Kingma System Flute is by far the most versatile
flute in existence today and once the player
becomes familiar ith its extra features, this flute
will become indispensable regardless of
the repertoire being performed.
