Vintage Regular Model Haynes
flutes represent the best value for a silver flute currently available on the
market. Contrary to common believe, the Regular Model Haynes flute was not a
cheap instrument, being priced only at a 15% discount compared to the Handmade
Model. Unlike some contemporary imports bearing the Haynes or Powell names,
vintage Regular Model Haynes were all made in the Boston workshop by expert
American craftsmen.
Haynes #14942 is not in
playing condition due to old pads. All the keys move up and down, no dents,
some tarnish. It will need an overhaul. It has the hard to find accessories
including the silver end caps and a priceless silver grease case. It comes in
its original case in fair condition.
Maker’s mark and serial number on body only. Monogram on headjoint.
The embouchure hole measures 10.3 x 11.8 mm.
Sounding length is 603 mm.
Headjoint length is 8-7/8”.
The flute weighs 441 grams.
