Haynes #28541 was delivered
in March 1959, the same year Rampal's gold flute was made. During this period,
Haynes was producing many gold and silver handmade flutes for prominent
flutists. It was also the time when Powell retired, leading many loyal Powell
players to search for alternative flute options. Our flute is in the real sweet
spot of golden age Haynes flutes.
Haynes #28541 is in excellent
condition, good mechanism, just slightly tarnished from use, the pads are older
and seal adequately. There are a few minor dents. An overhaul is recommended
for professional use. It plays with a sweet and singing tone in all registers,
easy articulations. The flute feels very light and vibrant. 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 10.2 x 12.3 mm.
Sounding length is 637 mm.
Headjoint length is 8-7/8”.
The flute weighs 425 grams.
