I am the sole owner of this beautiful Haynes. I purchased it directly from Haynes in Boston in 1988, while I was in my freshman year at the College-Conservatory of Music in Cincinnati.

This Haynes has always been impeccably maintained, and it has performed without fail throughout my professional career over the past 22 years. I have played it in many different settings and venues, from orchestral performances to Latin jazz concerts, solo flute gigs, weddings, chamber music and many studio recordings. The flute has a warm, round, sweet Haynes sound with many colors; it projects clearly and blends well with other instrumentation.

The flute is in perfect condition, performance ready, and it just had a COA in February 2012. It had a complete overhaul in 2008.

Serious inquiries only please, negotiation is possible.
