Each Powell flute has a unique
character yet all bear a family resemblance. Powell instruments are
made with care to exacting tolerances. But ultimately a Powell flute or
piccolo is crafted to a musical performance standard. From the first
flute made in 1906 by Verne Q. Powell to today's Powell flute, the
humanity of each artisan at Powell is reflected in the character of the
instrument. The feel of a key or the aesthetic of a pointed arm are the
subtle but telltale signs of the individuality of the flutemaker. In
the final analysis it is the musician who determines the true voice of
the flute. The unique quality and excellence of a Powell instrument
resides in its ability to be shaped by the flutist.
