Why Isn’t the Price Listed?
This is a custom order listing. As of June 2025, Powell no longer publishes pricing for gold or platinum models due to fluctuations in precious metal costs. Because pricing can only be confirmed at the time of order, we are unable to display a fixed price online.
To receive a quote or learn more about availability, please contact us directly. For pricing for in-stock models, see our Powell In Stock Collection.

Powell Headjoint Cuts
Powell Flutes currently offers five different headjoint styles: Lumina, Soloist, Venti, Philharmonic, and 1927.
The Lumina Cut is described as acrobatic in nature, freeing the player to move smoothly between octaves and over large intervals. This cut offers flexibility while producing a solid, centered, sophisticated core.
The strength and flexibility of the Soloist Cut headjoint allows the player to fill a hall or perform the quietest passages easily, with complete command. The slightly curved lip plate offers quick articulation and a full range of colors.
The Venti Cut, developed by Mr. Paul Edmund-Davies to mirror his experience of singing in a cathedral choir, has excellent depth of sound through all three octaves, and a very resonant and free third octave.
The Philharmonic Cut has a relatively broad, flat lip plate. Articulation is crisp and clean, and the style produces a deep, rich tone with a broad dynamic range.
Celebrating the success of Verne Q. Powell’s original design, the 1927 headjoint brings all the color and clarity found in vintage Powell Flutes to the present day. Upon starting his own company in 1927, Verne Q. Powell established an iconic American sound that had both nuance and charm. 95 years later, we’ve taken a modern approach to his ideas, modifying Verne’s original concept to give the power and projection needed by flutists today.
