FlutesThere is another side to our business that most flutists do not realize exists. I started the company in 1991, building on years of experience in instrument repair. From that time I have not only been repairing, I have also been providing tools and supplies to technicians and manufacturers. Today, my company designs and builds specialty tools and parts for instrument makers worldwide. This keeps us at the forefront of current instrument technology, and allows us a unique perspective from which to understand the instruments

Powell Flutes and Headjoints

Powell headjoints are offered in three different styles. The price of each Powell flute includes the headjoint style of the player’s choice. Powell headjoints are also available for separate purchase.

Philharmonic: The most popular of Powell’s headjoint styles, the Philharmonic is capable of broad dynamic ranges and has a deep rich tone with extraordinary carrying power and focus.

Soloist: This headjoint style was introduced in 2005 to rave reviews. It is open and free in the top octave, rich and deep in the middle and bottom octaves, and has great projection and flexibility.

Venti: This is Powell’s newest headjoint style, designed to give the performer variations of flexibility, dynamics, power and sound. It allows for depth of sound through all three octaves, even pitch and dynamic range, as well as a sound that is powerful without being wild or breaking up.
