William Haynes Flute





This flute from the thirties of the 20th century is
in a pristine condition. A beautiful player with that creamy
sought after tone good Haynes flutes are known for.
 


Besides al the inscription necessary you are able to
see the addition: "Special Model". We do not know
exactly what is so special on this silver flute but
we presume it to be the axes work mounted 
directly on the tube itself. Nr. 12098 which place 
it in the year 1932 produced on the 14th of May.
This flute can be found back in the registration
reports of W.Haynes described as CL G# C Spec.
CL G# stands for closed G#. The last prefix C 
stands for C foot. William Haynes flutes from 
before 1980 are considered to be from the golden 
age of Haynes though they still are producing 
fine instruments!


The unaltered lipopening.


The typical earlier Haynes keywork.


Everything in a "like new" condition.



Enough distance for this instrument to breathe!


And the pads are in great condition as well.


As has been stated earlier: solid silver.
