Haynes #25244 was crafted at
the economic expansion of the 1950s. 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.
Our flute is all original,
some tarnish and a few negligible dents, the pads are old but covering and the flute
plays very well. The tone is beautiful, evident from the exquisite headjoint
and embouchure hole. A complete overhaul is recommended for professional use. It comes in a wooden case in poor condition.
Maker’s mark and serial number on body only. Monogram on headjoint.
The embouchure hole measures 10.3 x 12.1 mm.
Sounding length is 602 mm.
Headjoint length is 9”.
The flute weighs 444 grams.
