Verne Q. Powell was a man driven by excellence, artistry, and innovation. His love for the flute, and talents in metalworking, lead him to create the most iconic flute of the 20th Century. A self-taught maker, his instrument’s rise to success was founded on a constant pursuit of innovation. The premiere of the 18K Rose Gold flute demonstrates a commitment to this pursuit, a committment which has carried Powell Flutes through 90 years of success.
With an incredible hardness, the 18K flute easily projects its rich and colorful sound. The density of the 18K alloy also provides the player with an extremely stable mechanism and balance of weight. The result is an exceptional instrument, designed for an exceptional player.
