Haynes #9369 was made during a pivotal moment in the company’s history. Shortly after Verne Q. Powell departed to start his own venture, George Haynes returned to guide the destiny of Haynes Flutes. This period, marked by intense competition with their former star flutemaker, is sometimes considered the first golden age of Haynes. (see article: Gold Powell Flute #60) The exceptional sound quality of flute #9369 is a testament to this era.

Our flute is in good condition. The pads are old but covering adequately for casual playing. A complete overhaul is recommended for professional use. It its current condition, it still plays with a beautiful core sound, full of colors and very vibrant, evident from the exquisite headjoint and embouchure hole, possibly the work of George Haynes. A minor dent on the lipplate has no impact on playability. The hard to find accessories include one silver tenon cap, cleaning rod with screwdriver, silver grease case with Haynes monogram, and 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 12.2 mm.

Sounding length is 602 mm.

Headjoint length is 9-1/8”.

The flute weighs 457 grams.
