The Kingma & Brannen design is the result of an intense collaboration with Bickford and Laura Brannen after many years of working together on other projects. Bickford and Laura Brannen are both retired from Brannen Brothers Flutemakers, but continue to offer their flutemaking and design skills on our flutes. The Kingma & Brannen design was initially offered in 2011 on the alto flute, which will soon be available with the full Kingma System®. Ultimately the new design concepts will also be applied to all the larger flutes.
Our goals and features of the Kingma & Brannen Alto Flute are:
Excellent intonation
Quick Response
Robust Tone
Comfortable Hand Positions
Mechanical Stability
Beauty of Appearance
Reduced Weight
Proper Balance
Instruments with the Kingma & Brannen designation are available exclusively from our workshop and from select flute retailers.
