pointed arms, no adjustment screws, inline G, C-foot, Bb shake, .013” tubing,
forged keys and touches, gold springs, felt pads, traditional scale, A=440.
Haynes #29269 is in good
condition, pads are newer and covering adequately for casual playing, a little
finger pressure is required for a better seal, the mechanism is sound and tight,
good action, no dent. The headjoint has been shortened about 1/8+" and
came from a different flute also made in the 1950s. The tone holes have been
undercut for a free blowing feel. The sound of this flute is very clear, pure
and even, good response, easy high register. It comes in a combination case in
good condition.
