1986 W.S. HAYNES SOLID SILVR FLUTE, HAND-MADE, ALL NEW PADS, "DEVEAU SCALE"William S. Haynes solid silver flute number 47,965. French (open finger-hole) keywork to low B, in-line G, soldered tone-holes, extended key arms over the pad cups. The instrument was constructed with .014 silver tube, soldered tone-holes. Sounding length is 632 mm (A=442), the embouchure measures 10.1 X 12.3, giving the instrument a wonderful tone color. Total weight is 433 grams. All pads and corks are new. The case is in very good condition. Still in production, retail price is now a bit over $15,000. 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. The price is, in my estimation...reasonable, based on the simple fact that my acquisition costs were not high! $4,375. GR |
