Pre-Owned Powell 2100 Flute

Our Description

The Powell .925 2100 flute (fore-runner to the Conservatory) has amazing projection and clarity of sound over the range of the flute, with a large dynamic range. It is an unusual instrument with a very modern and distinctive look inspired by Art Deco. This flute was manufactured at the turn of the Millennium which motivated Powell to design something unique.  

General Condition

This flute has been through our workshop prior to sale and is in very good condition throughout! There are a few minor surface scratches along the body, but these will not impact the sound at all. 

About Powell

In 1916, Verne Powell joined the Wm. S. Haynes Company to make wooden flutes and piccolos. By 1926, he was the shop foreman and was running much of the business at Haynes; later that year, he left Haynes to make his own flutes and Verne Q. Powell Flutes, Inc. was incorporated.

The instruments were immediately recognized as the very best a flutist could play and endorsements flowed in from flutists around the globe. In 1928, he completed his first all 14K Gold flute; soon piccolos and alto flutes were added. By 1930 the brand had representation in the Boston, Detroit, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Baltimore, and New York Orchestras. There were flutes which had a life of their own; #365 the “World’s Fair” Platinum flute of William Kincaid, #900 the only flute ever made entirely of 14K White Gold, #1142 the “Signature” Flute.

In 2016 Verne Q. Powell Flutes, Inc. was purchased by Buffet Crampon, joining nine other brands of wind instruments to complete the largest group of wind instrument manufacturers in the world.
