Verne Q. Powell #1369 "Commercial American Model
Made in 1954 - Solid Silver, closed hole, C-foot
This delightfully responsive flute is ideal for a doubler or anyone who loves the traditional Powell sound. One owner (Verne Q. Powell's former neighbor) purchased this flute while studying with Papoutsakis, it was recently overhauled at the Powell factory, and has a brand new Powell double case and leather case cover.
A buoyant and luminous sound produces ringing staccato, a natural legato, and a fantastic consistency in all three registers. The sound can be pushed to fortissimo with no risk of cracking notes. The presence of overtones is completely available.
One should not overlook the capabilities of a closed hole commercial model when playing this Powell. It has every bit the sound of a handmade open hole Powell and ranks amongst the best!
No dings, dents, or scratches in perfect condition.
Brand new Straubinger pads.
Price: $5,750 Negotiable
