A must for those interested in period performance
This is a great book with lots of history on the flute. I am mainly interested in period instruments and focus on baroque woodwinds. This book is by one of the best, well-known baroque flute makers in the U.S. The book is full of interesting facts about the flute and flute playing. If you love music history, this is a great book even with its narrow focus on the flute and its historic technique.

Product Description

The story of the flute in the musical life of Europe and North America from the 12th century to the 21st. It seeks to illustrate the relationship that has bound the instrument, its music, and performance technique together through eight centuries of shifting musical tastes and practices. In a comprehensive account of the flute's development, Powell takes account of modern research: on military flutes and fifes of the 15th century; the Renaissance consort flute; baroque and classical instruments; mechanically-advanced 19th-century designs by Theobald Boehm and others; and further innovations that led to the modern flute. All these transformations are related to revolutions in playing style and repertoire, in the lives of flute players and makers, and in uses of the instrument to play military, religious, consort, solo, chamber, opera, symphony, jazz, popular and flute band music. The role of amateur flutists receives consideration alongside the influence of famous players and teachers. This guide to the heritage of the flute should be of interest to both those who play the flute and those who love its music. Top to learn more

Well researched and presented but lacking certain topics.
A thoughtful, thorough history of the flute. Perhaps a little too narrowly focussed, as the flute's history included relevant interactions with other woodwinds, none of which are mentioned. Does not say enough about the flute after 1960, and could use an expansion of the material on such topics as the pccolo, alto and bass flutes--this is a serious deficiency. Not quite as thoroughly referenced as other volumes in this series, but generally this meets an adequate scholarly standard. There are some formal idiosyncracies which the author accepts. Despite its weaknesses, this is the current "definitive" history of the flute. Well recommended, and not too costly!

A Scholarly History of the Flute
This is strictly a scholarly history of the flute and only that, and an excellent one at that. John

Powell Flute

With heavy use, a flute will need an overhaul about every 5-10 years to make sure that it lasts as long as it is meant to. If you don’t get it overhauled, and COA, the pads will eventually get distorted, and the mechanism can slip out of alignment... When an overhaul is done, places will often remove all dents as well as fit the head joint and foot joint to make sure they are connecting like they are supposed to. Overhauls cost around $400-$650 for a student flute, and between $1,000-$1,200... An overhaul can be done fast, but it is a very time consuming process and if you need your flute for something, you either need to try and schedule the repair time around it, or have and use a backup flute. That is why playing on an professional flute when you are a beginner, can end up destroying the flute, because they don’t know how to handle and care for it. COA, and overhauls, are something that should be done for the life of flutes, and will... A normal COA should cost around $60-150 for a student flute, and up to around $250-400 for a professional flute. Most places will hand polish the flute, and this is preferred because if polished with motor armed polishing arm, it can cause damage to the flute metal, and wear it down over time. Higher quality flutes allow the player to have more control over them, and student flutes (although some can be great) are often made for durability. Clean Oil Adjustments (COA) – The flute is taken apart, patina/tarnish is removed, pads are replaced (normally, up to 3 covered in repair, but this depends on the person), and mechanism is oiled, pads are seated, shimmed, and adjusted as necessary.

Powell flutes were afraid that this would change their flute and would lose their status in the flute industry. The only other organizations that would benefit from Powell’s learning would be other flute companies and then they would have the come to the same decision to change their flutes to the Cooper scale. He feel that there are a few things that make learning in an organization unique and these ideas can be applied to the Powell flute company. This is seen when the head of the Powell company considers putting the Cooper scale on their flute. Powell flutes can be seen as a community of practice. The teacher works with the apprentice until he learns the “feel” of a perfect flute.
