Powell Sonaré PS-905 Concert Flute Overview
The Powell Sonaré PS-905 connects Powell's Boston flute-making tradition with a modern performance flute design for advancing and serious players. Powell's Sonaré flutes are respected for bringing Powell headjoint design into instruments intended for players who need a more refined response than a standard student flute, and this PS-905 offers the Sterling Silver marking and Signature headjoint engraving that flutists look for in this line.
