Powell Aurumite 9K Headjoint 1927
Celebrating the success of Verne Q. Powell’s original design, the 1927 headjoint brings all the colour 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, they have taken a modern approach to his ideas, modifying Verne’s original concept to give the power and projection needed by flutists today.
Aurumite is a patented, high-end flute tubing material developed by Powell that metallurgically bonds layers of 14k or 9k rose gold with sterling silver. It combines the dark, warm tone of gold with the projection of silver, featuring a gold layer 35 times thicker than standard plating for enhanced resonance and durability.
