It took me a while to really get comfortable playing it up to pitch, but I love it. I believe this was during the time that Powell worked for the Haynes company. I don't know if this is considered a 'golden' age commercial Haynes (may be a little early) but I play a 10,000 serial number Commercial model (1929).

I believe it was on the order of 10,000 plus dollars, so I had to pass. Great flute selection! Here is just his I know it's not what you're looking for and certianly not in the price range, but last time I was there, I played the last flute on his list, serial 52151 and it was the flute. Besides having a flute inventory to die for, Jeff Weissman is a trip! If you live close to NYC, you should visit his shop. Weissman has a boatload of these very flutes. Is that the actual brand name? Or a nickname? Are they no longer being made? What material are they made out of?ĭo they all have the same headjoint? I'm getting much closer to thinking this (or something similar) might be what i'm looking for. Wait, so could somebody define what the Haynes 'commerical' model is exactly? I've gathered that this is a closed hole, offset G, low C horn that most of you rave about. Theres a great Haynes Robertos, open hole 6 diguit and smokin'. Haynes is Haynes for sure but this fits where my mind set is in this era. ( Harold taught Dolphy, Yusef and hundreds of NY guys ) I never played a better flute, BAR NONE. My flute teacher for over 25 years Harold Jones has one and that kinda did it for me. That said, FWIW, I've been playing a Burkhart-Phelan for about 4 months and am loving it madly. Thats what _my_Haynes is, and it is an amazing flute. Artie Pinkus told me that in the 70's on 48th St. I think it was also called the ' bread and butter flute'. I'm assuming that it would be.#20, xxx.Ĭlosed hole low C. Haynes COMMERCIAL experts, let me hear from you. (late 50s to early 70s) BUT What about the closed hole, COMMERCIAL model flute? What are the good serial number ranges for those? Are they the same Golden Era as the Handmade or do they have their own, different era. I keep hearing about the Golden Age of Haynes and I have played some really nice HANDMADE french Haynes flutes from that era.

I’ve been trying to get some history on these flutes, but Haven’t found much other than the company was founded by W Hayes JR and Mr Schwelm- who worked for Haynes and later was the foreman at Powell.Ĭan you shed any more light? I’m particularly interested to find out if anyone knows The time period it was manufactured. My wife had recently purchased an old Haynes-Schwelm flute.
