The very first Brannen-Cooper flute ever built—handmade by Bickford Brannen and Albert Cooper—marks the starting point of the modern Boston flute legacy. This professional C flute features a 14k gold body and headjoint with a solid silver mechanism and toneholes, delivering a strong fundamental, complex overtones, and clear projection. With inline G and a C foot, it offers a traditional, familiar feel favored by orchestral and solo players who value response, balance, and tonal nuance. Ideal for orchestral professionals, recording artists, and advanced players who appreciate both performance excellence and provenance.
