Verne Q. Powell (two Photos by Al Stewart)
The name Powell has meant excellence in flute making since Mr. Powell started
his own company in 1927. The finest flutists everywhere in every musical venue
play his instruments. Al Stewart recalls; that Mr. Powell had just completed tis
piccolo in his Boston shop Ray Beckenstein, the first chair reed player for Noel
Coward’s new musical Sail Away. After months of waiting, Ray’s instrument was
ready, and in this shot, “Mr. Powell is demonstrating Ray’s new piccolo as he
plays a high G to A trill. He was sitting in front of a large window in his shop with
overcast light filtering through when I photographed him on this day in 1961.”
