Wm. S. Haynes Flute serial
#36208, made in 1967. Solid silver, handmade French model, soldered tone holes,

.013-” tubing, #9 headjoint taper, forged keys and touches, gold springs, felt
pads, traditional scale, A=440.
Haynes #36208 is in good used
condition. The pads are older but covering well. They are fine for casual
playing. A repad, adjustment or overhaul would be recommended for serious
performance. The mechanism and body are in good shape, some tarnish from age
and regular use. The sound is sweet and clear, good tone colors, easy
articulations - a tribute to a well cut embouchure hole which is slightly
smaller than most other Haynes embouchure holes of the period. It comes in its
original case in good condition.
Maker’s mark and serial number on body only. Monogram on headjoint.
The embouchure hole measures 10.2 x 12.1 mm.
Sounding length is 600 mm.
Headjoint length is 8-7/8”.
The flute weighs 395 grams.
