Verne Q.Powell #795

Open hole, Sterling Silver, in-line G, with Eugene Lorello headjoint Commercial Open hole French style, .018 silver tube, drawn tone holes, traditional A=440, C-foot, and inline G


Made in August of 1948, matched with a Lorello headjoint, this three digit Powell so coveted by many, has been in the possession of the original owner all this time.

It's not hard to understand why this seller has waited until now to let the instrument go. The huge volume is not to be believed from this truly vintage sounding flute. #795 offers a richness comparable to any gold flute and is easy to play and light in the hand. Lorello headjoints are rare and this particular one articulates beautifully and has a dark core coupled with ringing overtones. Lorello had worked in the Powell shop and later began a business of his own in New York City. One must play this flute to truly understand the capabilities of this vintage instrument and fall in love with the craftsmanship of Powell and Lorello.

The flute is in remarkably good, original condition with minor signs of wear that could easily be buffed away; or on the other hand, perhaps the buyer would prefer to have the flute remain in this vintage condition for maximum authenticity. The choice is yours.

No dings, dents, or scratches.
