Antique Baystate WM Haynes Boston 1800s Wooden FlutePiccolo Serial Number 5xxx E
Antique grenadilla wood – no cracks, intricate key work inlay tone holes. E’ Piccolo/flute made by top flute makers William and George of the JC Haynes company BOSTON MA. (flute makers late 1800s -early 1900s Boston, MA BAYSTATE was their first name brand). Later, they made silver, gold and other wooden flutes (wooden flutes ended 1918). Read their history here. LOOK AT THE WOOD GRAIN, and the key details. The left hand of this flute/piccolo plays ok but this instrument needs right hand adjustment. This Rare E LP flute comes with what I believe is the original case.
