Pre-Owned Powell Sonaré PS-705 Professional Flute - Solid Silver Body & Headjoint
For sale is a stunning, Pre-Owned Powell Sonaré PS-705 Professional Flute. The 705 is the premiere, flagship model of the highly acclaimed Sonaré range.

This specific flute is in absolutely fantastic, near-new condition and comes complete in its original box. It delivers the iconic, resonant Powell sound and a lightning-fast key action at an incredibly accessible price point.
Who Is This Flute For?
This is the perfect instrument for the discerning intermediate flutist, serious collegiate major, or gigging professional. If you are ready to step up from a student or basic intermediate model and need a flute that offers greater power, projection, and response, the PS-705 is a phenomenal choice. The solid silver construction and modern Powell scale provide superb intonation and a beautifully rich, sophisticated core sound.
The "PS-705" Advantage
