Custom Handmade Flutes
Every Haynes instrument is a delicate balance of art and precision engineering. Each flute must first be designed and constructed to the strictest of tolerances, then the artisans at Wm. S. Haynes bring the instrument to life, creating the ultimate catalyst for an exquisite musical experience.
Silver
Grace, elegance, refinement
The defining qualities of the Haynes Silver flute. Available in a variety of tubing thickness, the Silver flute can be customized to meet the demands of the most discerning flutist.
Haynes Silver Flutes have been made in .900 (coin) silver for the instrument tubing since 1948, and we’ve never looked back. Mechanism, rings, barrel, lip plate and crown are all made in .925 (Sterling) silver.
P Cut
The P Cut is named in honor of Piedmont Street, in the center of downtown Boston, where the Haynes workshop was located from 1953 to 2010. Like its namesake, the P style provides a stable road for the flutist to travel and discover new aspects of their sound.
Complex overtones, an easy legato and dolce in all registers, a lively attack, an easy projection, combined with a wide and flexible color and dynamic spectrum makes this headjoint a satisfying and popular choice.
N Cut
The N Cut was originally named after Boston’s Newberry Street, but following a complete redesign in 2016, we decided to name this new incarnation in honor of the Nagog Wetlands that surround the current Haynes workshop in Acton, Massachusetts. In nature there is beauty and complexity, which is reflected in the N style. The N Cut encourages the player to move off the beaten path and explore.
Feeling perhaps more dangerous, with moments of exhilaration, this headjoint is designed to inspire, challenge and spark the creativity and imagination of the flutist, allowing the discovery of new destinations for your sound and music-making.
S Cut
The S Cut headjoint is named after Stanhope Street, the home of the Haynes Brothers in the late 1890’s. This headjoint aims to bring all of the depth and brilliance associated with our P and N Cut headjoints to a wider audience.
A larger target, an easier response, putting fewer demands on the player while multiplying possibilities in color, projection, dynamics and articulation.
A welcoming resonance, an approachable sophistication, creating the opportunity for more and more people to enjoy the Haynes Sound.
