Verne Q. Powell was a man driven by excellence, artistry, and innovation. His love for the flute, and talents in metalworking, lead him to create the most iconic flute of the 20th Century. A self-taught maker, his instrument’s rise to success was founded on a constant pursuit of innovation. The premiere of the 18K Rose Gold flute demonstrates a commitment to this pursuit, a committment which has carried Powell Flutes through 90 years of success.
