Powell Sonare PS-505 Flute

Verne Powell developed the Ardeleve flute around 1951 by placing a Powell headjoint on a flute made in France. The Powell® Sonaré® model is based on this concept and was established in 2002. Every Powell Sonaré flute features a hand-cut headjoint and body made at the Boston area shop. Powell Sonaré models are available in a range of levels, all of which allow the player to perform with the renowned, professional Powell Sound virtuosity at a step-up flute price. The Sonaré C flute retains some of the design features from the Powell Signature flute that are critical for acoustical quality. Sonaré C flutes feature bodies made using patented Zinki technology (U.S. patent #7,420,109) and handmade Powell Signature® headjoints. Every Sonaré model includes an elegant French style case, nylon case cover, swab stick, gauze swab and polishing cloth.

The Powell Sonaré 505 Model features include:

• Hand-cut Sterling Silver Signature II headjoint
• a Nickel Silver, Silver Plated Body and Mechanism
• French pointed arms
• Available with Offset or In-line G Keys
• Available with B or C foot joints
• Available with a Split E option (only with Offset G keys)

The headjoint can also be upgraded with an Aurumite 9K Lip Plate - please view the 505K product line.
