Powell has stood for excellent flute making "Made in USA" since 1910. The brand was founded by goldsmith Verne Q. Powell and Powell flutes soon found their way into leading American orchestras. Today the brand belongs to the Buffet Crampon group and continues to manufacture in Boston. Powell is known for its high-quality professional instruments in solid gold, platinum or grenadilla wood as well as a wide range of individually crafted headjoints. The flutes are characterised by an extraordinary richness of tone, precision of response and artisanal perfection.
A special feature is the patented material Aurumite – a combination of silver and 9-carat red gold that produces a warm, mellow sound. Aurumite is found in the professional models as well as in selected flutes of the Sonaré series, which are designed for beginners and advanced players.
Whether in lessons, at conservatoire or on the concert stage – Powell flutes stand for musical expressiveness and craftsmanship of the highest order.
