Our flute is in very good
condition and has been exceptionally well care for. The pads are older but
sealing well, mechanism is tight. This is a particularly special, lightweight
model, noticeably lighter than many flutes with a C-foot, especially modern
ones. It vibrated under your fingers. The sound is beautiful, rich, and full of
genuine colors, a true characteristic of a fine vintage Haynes flute. It has a
distinctive warmth and depth that give it a remarkable musical personality. It
comes in its original slim French case in very good condition.
