Instead, the number '118' is located on the body of the middle section of the flute, hidden below the rods.
#Haynes flute value serial numbers#
I am a drummer! I have looked for a serial number, however the only number I can find is not where I have seen other serial numbers on your flutes, i.e. I will describe the flute to the best of my abilities, but I warn you, I know little to nothing about this instrument. The middle section bears the makers label, as follows: The Haynes Flute MFD BY Wm.īoston, MA Reg. I purchased it at a Police Auction (it was recovered but unclaimed property) for very little money, simply because I knew it was of a higher model, and solid silver. I have recently purchased a flute, and I know little to nothing about them, so I was hoping you could help me find out what I have. Bought new in 1967, this flute has been kept in very good condition. Serial 35,731 – 1 Owner Flute This Haynes Commercial Flute is serial number 35,731 and was a 1 owner flute. (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.
