Powell Flute #3138 - SOLD

Verne Q. Powell Silver Flute #3138, .014 tubing thickness, pitched at A=440, French-style key cups, in-line G, B foot w/gizmo. Comes with addition silver Brannen Cooper headjoint.

Made exactly 40 years ago - in 1969 - this deeply rich sounding Vintage Powell flute has a wonderful tonal palette. Powerful without being overbearing, the broad strokes of color that emerge from the robust sound are a source of great satisfaction. Perhaps it is in the combination of the early Brannen Cooper headjoint with a great Powell body, but the lively, strong, commanding and super subtle possibilities of this flute/head set-up seem limitless. Original Powell head provides versatility, as its traditional cut produces a thick, but somewhat more resistant sound.

With recently installed Straubinger Pads, the rapid accuracy in articulation and ease in large interval jumps allows the player to fully concentrate on the music, and creativity.

In excellent condition, with no dings, dents or scratches.
