Haynes #30363 was delivered
on February 1961, about 18 months 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 sits in
the real sweet spot of golden age Haynes flutes.
Haynes #30363 is in exceptional playing condition. While it exhibits some areas of deep tarnish, the pads appear remarkably fresh, suggesting a recent repad and the pads are sealing well. The mechanism is in good condition. It plays with a sweet and singing tone in all registers, easy articulations. The flute feels light and vibrant. It comes in its original case in poor 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 600 mm.
