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 #17695 was made during
the war years. Our flute is all-original and in excellent condition, ready to
play, some tarnish from normal use, the pads are covering well. The tone is
beautiful, full of colors, and with easy articulations. The low register is
robust, the middle clear and sweet, the last octave is much easier to play than
most modern flutes and not shrill. It comes in a student case in good
condition.
Maker’s mark and serial number on body only. Monogram on headjoint.
The embouchure hole measures 10.4 x 12.2 mm.
Sounding length is 601 mm.
Headjoint length is 8-3/4”.
The flute weighs 438 grams.
