This flute comes to us from a large collection of a local player/collector who is downsizing their collection. Wm. S. Haynes Regular/Commercial Model CL G#, Serial #23249. Made 1953 in Boston, MA. Originally sold to Chicago Musical Instruments in August 1953. Pads & corks are in very good shape and it plays quite well, but the flute needs an overall clean & polish. We elected to sell it as-is at a lower price - but if the future buyer wishes, our repair shop can complete the cleaning for $385.
Solid Sterling Silver, including all joints and mechanisms. .016 body, drawn rolled tone holes, closed G# mechanism, C foot. Sterling Silver rise, lip plate, and crown.
Original case with Haynes logo and leather cover included. Fully insured UPS Ground shipping is $50 within the continental US.
