Up for sale is William Haynes Piccolo with a wood mouthpiece and body, A 435, Open g sharp, sterling silver mechanism and keys, Made in 1910. There is some slight tarnish on the keys, but it is in overall excellent cosmetic condition with no visible cracks, blemishes, or repairs. There is one tiny ding on the back of the mouthpiece (see last photo). But for how old it is the condition is spectacular (the instrument shop owner I took it to get it appraised was thoroughly impressed by its condition). I just had the pads replaced so it plays beautifully, and it was thoroughly reconditioned so the keys move smoothly, and wood body gives unique sound. Engraved on the body:
WM. S. HAYNES
BOSTON. MASS.
1826 Case shows wear but is not in bad shape cosmetically. Functionally works well- latches all work and case is sturdy. One crack along the seam of the underside. Questions welcome.
Satisfaction guaranteed.
