Powell Sonaré SF-7000 Flute – Sterling Silver Headjoint & Body – Recently Serviced

I am selling my Powell Sonaré SF-7000 flute, which is in excellent used conditio

n and has been very well looked after.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a serious student, advanced player, teacher, or professional looking to experience the Powell sound and build quality at a much more accessible price point than a fully handmade Powell flute.

The flute features a sterling silver 925 Powell headjoint, made at the Powell workshop in Massachusetts, USA. The headjoint benefits from a number of technical improvements compared with earlier Sonaré models and gives the flute a rich, responsive and flexible sound.

The body is also made of 925 sterling silver and the flute has:

Open holes

Inline G mechanism

B footjoint with gizmo key

French pointed key arms

White gold springs

Sterling silver plugs included

Please note that, as this is an inline G flute, some players may prefer to use plugs depending on their hand position or level of experience. The original silver plugs are included.

The instrument was professionally serviced in December 2025, at a cost of £430, and the invoice is included in the photos. It is therefore ready to play and enjoy without needing immediate work.

I bought this flute from a professional colleague who plays with the English National Opera and freelances professionally.

It was a great upgrade for me at the time, but I now use it very rarely after upgrading again, so I would rather it go to someone who will properly enjoy it.

Cosmetically, the flute is in fantastic condition overall. There are some light superficial scratches on the lip plate, which are purely cosmetic and could likely be polished out if desired. They are not very noticeable and do not affect the playing in any way.

Overall, this is a beautiful, high-quality Powell Sonaré SF-7000 in excellent playing condition, recently serviced and ready for its next owner.

If you want to buy it, please get in touch with me first so that we can decide the best way to ship it.
