Modern Powell Scale
A flute's scale has a huge effect on intonation and balance. The placement and size of the tone holes are the primary determinants of the scale. Sonaré flutes include the renowned Modern Powell Scale. They are produced at Powell’s Maynard, Massachusetts, workshop, using the same patented technology used to produce Powell’s professional gold flutes.
Included Accessories
To ensure your Powell flute stays in its best condition, the 705 comes with everything you need to look after it. To protect your instrument while commuting, a French style flute case is included. For added protection, the 705 includes a soft carry case which makes transportation easier and comfier. To make sure your flute lasts as long as possible, it should be cleaned regularly. This is why the Sonaré 705 comes with a maintenance kit that includes a swab stick, gauze swab, and polishing cloth so you can keep your new flute looking brand new.
About Powell Flutes
Since their founding in 1927, Powell Flutes has been a leader among makers of professional flutes and piccolos. Verne Powell opened his first shop at 295 Huntington Ave in Boston Massachusetts, just down the street from the famous Boston Symphony Hall. The first ten flutes made by Mr Powell were owned by some of the most famous American flautists of the time, including William Kincaid, Arthur Lora, and John Wummer. By 1930 Powell flutes were part of major orchestras in Baltimore, Boston, Cleveland, Detroit, New York, and Philadelphia.
Today the workshop is in Maynard, a small town just outside Boston. The shop occupies one floor of a building that was originally a woollen mill. Much like the workers who originally occupied the building, the flute makers continue the New England tradition of craftsmanship and a devotion to making the highest quality instruments. Every day they employ a strategic combination of handcrafting, technology, and a little bit of magic that enables you to explore your musicality.
