Tip of the Day: The Back Page question for this year is "What do you practice the first 30 minutes of the day? The September 2019 issue features flutist Carol Wincenc who is celebrating her 50th Anniversary Season with a series of concerts and premieres. Her comments begin with "Before I get the instrument out of the case, I do a 20-minute yoga routine and then some basic stretches specific to the upper arm...Then I segue into breath awareness. This mindful awareness is facilitated by breathing in through the nose." (Subscribe/renew at www.flutetalkmagazine.com. Group subscriptions for studios and flute choirs available for $9 per person).

Have you ever wondered who the first flutists to play Powell were?

Verne Powell established his own workshop in 1927 where he produced flutes entirely by hand in his small workshop located on Huntington Avenue, opposite from New England Conservatory. Powell kept the first flute and played it himself. Unfortunately, Powell #1, the property of the Powell family, was eventually stolen. This photo is of Mr. Powell's workbench.

The original owners of the first 10 Powell flutes were:
1. Verne Powell
2. John MacKnight, Flute soloist, Cleveland Symphony Orchestra
3. Charles Boyden, Boston, Massachusetts
4. John Wummer, Solo flutist, Detroit Symphony Orchestra
5. Arthur Lora, Formerly solo flutist, New York State Symphony of New York, Juilliard teacher
6. William Siebold, Baltimore Symphony Orchestra
7. William Kincaid, Solo flutist, Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra
8. William Heinrich, Berlin Philharmonic
