Verne Q. Powell Piccolos
Powell has been making hand made flutes & piccolos in Boston since 1927. They have continually made
improvements in their instruments and continue the tradition of great workmanship. In 1988
Powell developed Aurumite tubing which fuses layers of gold and silver to form the flute tube.
Their instruments have an excellent scale and an exquisitely beautiful sound.

Haynes Piccolos
William S. Haynes first established his name as a flute
maker through his dedication to exacting detail in every instrument that left his workshop. Then,
in 1913, he created a breakthrough in design that set Haynes flutes even more above the rest. This
breakthrough, which resulted in a patent (see below) corrected a design flaw that had troubled
flutemakers and players up until that time. Through a combination of classic detailed
hand-craftsmanship and innovation in design and technique, William S. Haynes set a standard that
prevails to this day at the flute workshop that still bears his name.

Explanation of Options:
The Split E is another mechanism that helps solve high E's problems. This solution
splits the G key and closes the lower hole, but not the upper when you finger high E.
This makes a high E extremely easy to play, but it does make some alternate fingerings
impossible.
