Standard French Model Flute
Originally hand-crafted by a gifted young silversmith, Haynes continues to create flutes and piccolos that reflect the very same unmistaken passion for excellence... over a century later. William S. Haynes, son of a sea captain and a Virginia school teacher, opened his flutemaking shop in historic Boston in 1888
From the onset, Haynes labored tirelessly to improve the unique sound of his instrument, experimenting with materials, mechanics, and headjoint design. And the tradition continues
Today, a dynamic group of true artisans strive to perpetuate this coveted heritage. As a result, the Wm. S. Haynes Company preserves the recognized position of world leader in craftsmanship and innovative design.
Haynes flutes are revered worldwide by legendary artists of the past and present. The Haynes Standard French model is known for outstanding intonation as well as superb craftsmanship and tonal quality. A must try for any professional looking for an affordable instrument.
