Vintage custom made Haynes sterling flute, serial 15XXX, 1938, sterling head, body, foot, keys, white gold springs, thin wall, Straubinger pads - recent overhaul by Weissman employee, Luke Penella (NYC). It has a uniquely beautiful tone, among other similar age Haynes flutes. Closed tone-holes, C-foot, Y-arms, C# trill, C-B trill (instead of usual B-Bb), left hand index finger support and a crutch, which can be mounted by choice. Please look at the pictures for design details. Not sure if it is Commercial or Handmade model, really a masterpiece of Haynes' craftsmanship. Modern tuning A=442. The uniqueness of this flute is the reason why it is priced higher than some others on eBay or in the Flute Center NYC. I offer 7-day trial (buyer pays return shipping).  The case is new Yamaha-made.
