I don't play and would rather pass it along to someone who will appreciate the craftsmanship and special history of this flute, instead of it collecting dust on my shelf. It was originally owned by the Buell family. William Collins Buell IV, born in 1911, has his name engraved on the back of the flute. The Buell family was originally from England and settled in Dorchester Massachusetts in the 1600’s. The Buell family was comprised of Lords and Ladies and numerous members held extremely important roles throughout England.Please feel free to contact me with any questions at all!!William S. Haynes was the founder of the William S. Haynes Flute Company of Boston. The company was founded in 1888 and is one of the world's leading makers of concert flutes. Haynes was a master silversmith. He was the son of a sea captain and a school teacher. Haynes established his flute-making shop, Wm S Haynes Co., in Piedmont Street in the Bay Village district of Boston, where the business was until moving to Acton, MA in 2010. Haynes patented his distinctive flute design in 1914,and the company has since become a provider of silver and gold instruments to many of the world's most prominent orchestral, chamber and jazz musicians. High-profile soloists to have performed on a Haynes flute have included Georges Barrere and Jean-Pierre Rampal.
