Powell Signature Series Flute

Pisoni S-2 Pads
Flute Pads can have a phenomenal impact on the performance, feel & response of a flute. Professional flutes tend to see a major upgrade in pads over intermediate models. In the case of the Powell Signature Series Flute, the Pisoni S-2 pad was chosen (specifically, the S2-US model with Delrin stabilizers). This pad features a CNC machined base made from Delrin in order to provide a firm feel to your new Powell Signature Series flute. This Delrin base is then covered with a very thin layer of microfibre in lieu of felt that is then covered in a double bladder skin layer. This setup provides a firm feel and for more power and response from the flute as the pad does not absorb the acoustics of the flute like a traditional felt and instead reflects more sound and power out.

The Pisoni S-2 pads were designed for high-end professional flutes and are a marvelous pairing to the Powell Signature Series flutes. However, these professional pads require a significantly more skilled and trained technician in order to adjust and regulate your new flute. Kessler & Sons Music has fully trained technicians who have been trained how to properly handle and work on professional flutes and the higher end pads associated with them (such as the Pisoni S-2 & Straubinger pads).
