This Haynes handmade flute was a joy to work on. Although it had been sitting in the case for a while when I got it, the condition was really nice. It was made in 1969 (37XXX), has a B foot and an inline G. Everything is solid silver including the keywork, and the head joint has a number 6 inside near the crown. There are no dents or dings, but there are a few minor scratches from use over the past 50 odd years. Only a couple of keys needed to be tighten up. The soldered tone holes were vacuum test for leaks as well as visually inspected under magnification and they are look excellent! After a complete disassembly and cleaning, premium felt pads were installed and everything was precision adjusted. It comes with a non-original case that fits it perfectly. The flute plays beautifully, is in incredible condition and is ready to be enjoyed for years to come. I will also include a one year warranty for local buyers.
