In 1994, Brannen Brothers introduced Key Extensions, a new tool which allows flutists to reconfigure keys so that they can play in more comfortable positions. These extensions are designed to fit Brannen-Cooper flutes and normally will not fit other flutes.

Key Extensions snap into the open hole keys and onto the left hand C^# key. The G^# extension is semi-permanently glued to the G^# key and is adjustable.

Alexa Still has written an article entitled "Make Like More Comfortable" that talks about her perspective on the usefulness of key extensions.

KEY EXTENSIONS OFFER MANY BENEFITS:
Adjustable:	You can reposition them whenever necessary.
Flexible:	Extensions come in six different sizes. Use the exact configuration that fits you best.
Removable:	If your needs change, or if you sell your flute, extensions can be removed with minimal work.
Inexpensive:	Extensions cost less than custom key work.
Refundable:	If key extensions do not provide the comfort desired, return some or all of them within 30 days for a full refund.

The standard set of Key Extensions includes one each of the six sizes of French cup extensions, one plastic C^# extension, and one silver G^# extension.

The six sizes of French cup extensions are designated as follows:

	Short	Medium	Long
Level with key	A1	B1	C1
Angles to key	A2	B2	C2
