French (open finger-hole) keywork to low B, in-line G, soldered tone-holes, extended key arms over the pad cups.
The instrument has come to us from a retired teacher in the Oklahoma City area.
The instrument was constructed with .014 silver tube, soldered tone-holes.
Sounding length is 635 mm (A=440), the embouchure measures 10.2 X 12.0, giving the instrument a wonderful tone color.
Total weight is 425 grams. All pads and corks are new. The case is in very good condition.
Still in production, retail price is now a bit over $12,500. Our flute is 100% made in America.
Recommended for the adult amateur or a discriminating musician who appreciates the wonderful voice of a Golden Age Haynes.
This particular flute exhibits superb workmanship, arguably quite different to that of modern instruments from the Haynes firm.
