The Powell Sonaré PS-501 is the perfect entry point into Powell’s professional Sonaré range. This flute is designed to deliver the unmistakable Powell sound at a more accessible price, and it’s available right now at Haggerty’s Music. With a silver-plated nickel silver body and mechanism paired with a hand-cut sterling silver headjoint, the PS-501 blends projection, tonal depth, and playability into a versatile instrument that’s ideal for advancing students and developing professionals.

Built around Powell’s Modern Scale, the PS-501 ensures accurate intonation, excellent response, and smooth transitions across registers. Its French open-hole key system with Y-arms, combined with Elgiloy springs and traditional felt pads, provides a balanced resistance and reliable action. The B-foot joint extends the instrument’s range, while the sterling silver headjoint offers warmth and color that sets this flute apart from others in its class.

As the first step in the Sonaré lineup, the PS-501 gives players a taste of Powell’s legendary craftsmanship without the full investment of a handmade Powell flute, making it an exceptional choice for flutists who want professional tone and feel in a more affordable package.
