Vintage customized Haynes Commercial sterling flute, serial 15XXX, 1938, sterling head, body, foot, keys, drawn tone holes, white gold springs, thin wall, Straubinger pads - recent overhaul by Weissman employee, Luke Penella (NYC).
This is NOT a "student" model, it is a professional concert instrument.
Modern tuning A=440, not A=435. I called Haynes and they told me that this exact serial number is A=440.It has a uniquely beautiful tone, among other similar age Haynes flutes. Closed tone-holes, C-foot, Y-arms, C# trill, DeLaurent model - C-B trill (instead of usual B-Bb), left hand support and a crutch, which can be mounted by choice. Please look at the pictures for design details. Indeed a masterpiece of Haynes' craftsmanship.Closed-hole flutes are as popular as open-hole flutes in Europe, especially in France and Germany. Jean-Pierre Rampal spoke about closed-hole C-foot flutes as having a better fuller sound and intonation, while a C-foot makes the tone brighter (B-foot makes the tone darker). The uniqueness of this flute is the reason why it is priced higher than some others on eBay or in the Flute Center NYC. The case is ex. condition Yamaha-made. I offer a free trial period of 3 days upon receiving (buyer pays return shipping + 10% trial fee).
