Mechanical Options available on Powell Flutes

Why is that feature called split E when it fact it's the G that is split? Seems confusing.

I miss my Powell :( It got too heavy for my hands to handle. It would be nice if Powell would offer a silver plated body and keys so that I could still get the Powell sound but it would make it lighter and more tolerable for my hands. I am sure this will never happen though. The Powell sound will forever be my favorite.

@Fluteragious1 Try a Sonare ... its a fairly good silver body with a powell head joint.

@gamer7022 Thanks for the suggestion, but I have tried a Sonare. I do not care for the type of headjoint that comes on them and the quaility is no where near as nice as a handmade Powell. I am picky and only like handmades :) I am very happy with my Miyazawa as the Brogger system is wonderful on it and I no longer have hand problems.

What's the average price for a powell flute?

[gamer7022]

@AbrahamSmith102093 Powells sell on fluteworld(.)com are 1400 to 2700 dollars and to be honest 1400 is a GREAT price for a powell.

@gamer7022 Thanx man! you're a life saver!

Dear jbh3628 - Thank for your suggestion but this is an incredibly difficult thing to explain in person, let alone on a video.

It is similar to asking someone to describe the subtle difference in the taste of wine. Each person who samples from the same bottle will have a different perception.

I highly recommend that you try a soldered tone hole flute next to a drawn tone hole flute and see what difference you hear. That really is the best way to discover the difference.

Can you please post a video about how the sound is different between soldered and drawn tone holes????? thxxx
