VINTAGE POWELL HAND-MADE FLUTE, 14K SOLID GOLD LIP,ALL NEW PADS,SOLDERED T-HOLES. Is ours better than a new flute from Powell? We think so!įlute questions? Write me! Always glad to hear from flute people! If you're playing in a pro orchestra that tunes to 442 or higher, this one's definitely not for you.Īs we understand it, the price of a new Powell with 14K lip and riser, D# roller, is somewhere just below $16,000. If you're an amateur adult who likes to play with small ensembles and enjoys tooting Bach on week-ends, it's perfect. That means you've really got to spend time with it.just to become accustomed to the mass of the beast.Īnd it's 440 pitch. This flute is almost a "Panzerfloete": it's 455 / 456 grams. A modern hand-made Powell weighs about 435 grams. I quite like it, would recommend it highly for SOME (not all) super-particular players.īut it's heavy. The sound is full and dark and really a little dirty. And in that time, I've tested more than one hundred. I've got to say that this is absolutely the finest Powell I've played for a decade. With original head section in solid silver with 14K gold lip and riser. The flute was constructed with in-line G, and soldered tone-holes. #3769 (November, 1972), hand-made, soldered tone-holes best model “pre Wasser” flute.
