Brannen-Cooper Silver Flute #264 Heavy .018 tube,B foot, Open Hole, in-line G, B gizmo, D# roller, Tradition Acoustic, and Traditional Meckanic.

Made in 1982, is a true 'three-digit' Brannen. Harkening back to the Vintage Powell sound, which was the crucible that formed the Brannen Brothers brilliant flute-making aesthetic, the early Brannen-Cooper flutes are renowned for their depth of color, and vibrant presence.

It seems the projection of this flute has a life of its own. The sound projects around corners and through closed doors...so one can imagine the possibilities in a hall! Occasionally there are flutes that are built that seem to be like ventriloquists, throwing the sound out into the world so succinctly that nothing is lost... and #264 is one of those flutes.

The elegant gestural line that is inherent in the playability enhance the phrasing as one builds it. As for the intonation, articulation and dynamic range, your wish is its command. A true find, and one Your Flute Works is quite proud to include in its inventory!

In excellent condition, with no dings, dents or scratches. The Straubinger Pads, that were installed at the Brannen factory in 2005, are in quite new condition, as the flute was played minimally since the pads were installed. There should not be the need to do an overhaul on this flute for many years to come.

No dings, dents or scratches. In perfect condition.
