Berkeley Pro C Silver 16-Key Flute with Hand-Engraved Art

Every Berkeley Pro C Silver Flute is truly one of a kind. Each instrument is hand-engraved by a talented artist in China whose work strikes the perfect balance—elegant, distinctive, and never overdone. The fine engraving on the flute’s headjoint and keywork is carefully crafted to complement the instrument’s design, turning every flute into a functional piece of art.

This model comes with a case (handle optional for an additional cost). It’s designed with students and teachers in mind—especially useful in classrooms where trumpet and clarinet are taught alongside flute. With a C flute, young players don’t struggle with the difficult Bb/Eb transposition that often discourages beginners.
