Brandon’ About Levit Flutes Constructed from only the highest quality materials and built using the most precise manufacturing processes, the Levit Standard Flute 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.
