Haynes #30036 was delivered on September 27, 1960, about one year after 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 #30036 is in excellent condition, looks like a new flute! The pads are older and seal adequately, the mechanism is in good condition. 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 excellent condition.

Maker’s mark and serial number on body only. Monogram on headjoint.

The embouchure hole measures 10.2 x 12.2 mm.

Sounding length is 599 mm.

Headjoint length is 9”.

The flute weighs 384 grams.
