This flute was made around the late 80s and has been looked after very well meaning it is in very good overall condition. The Deveau scale is a modern scale and the tuning of the instrument is good.
This flute is in excellent condition with a very small amount of tarnish to the silver on the A and E keys. There are some very small dents on the back of the headjoint and on the blowing edge of the lip-plate, but these do not affect the playability of the flute. The flute has been prepared for sale in our repair studio.
William S. Haynes first established his name as a flute maker through his dedication to exacting detail in every instrument that left his workshop. Then, in 1913, he created a breakthrough in design that set Haynes flutes even more above the rest. This breakthrough, which resulted in a patent, corrected a design flaw that had troubled flutemakers and players up until that time. Through a combination of classic detailed hand-craftsmanship and innovation in design and technique, Haynes set a standard that prevails to this day at the flute workshop that still bears his name.
