Who the PS-705 C Flute Is For
The PS-705 is well suited to advancing players, college-level flutists, serious ensemble musicians, and woodwind doublers who want an open-hole C flute with a more developed tonal palette than a typical student instrument.

Common Questions About the Powell Sonaré PS-705
What distinguishes the Powell Sonaré PS-705 within Powell's flute lineup?
The Sonaré series is designed to bring Powell's flute-making concepts to players who need a serious performance instrument without moving into a fully handmade Powell flute. The PS-705 combines Sonaré accessibility with higher-level material and headjoint features.
Is the PS-705 appropriate for advanced study and ensemble performance?
Yes. The open-hole keywork, sterling silver body, and Signature Aurumite headjoint make the PS-705 appropriate for advancing flutists who are developing more control over tone color, intonation, and response in ensemble or solo settings.
How should a player compare this flute with a handmade Powell model?
A handmade Powell flute generally offers a more individualized build and a broader range of custom options. The Sonaré PS-705 is best considered by players who want Powell design influence and performance-level materials in a more accessible instrument.
