This listing is for the flute with an unfinished overhaul. The flute is not playing and will require several hundred dollars of work to get the new pads sealing well and bumper materials added. It is priced accordingly. If you would like the flute in playing order, see my other listings for the same flute with finished overhaul. One of a kind antique wooden Wm. S Haynes flute #989. Converted to open holes with split E mechanism by master flutemaker Kiko Candelaria. Being an antique it is likely “low pitch” more centered around A-435 vs. Today’s standard of A-440 but in the grand scheme of things 5 cents isn’t so far off and it’s possible to play the flute at modern pitch with a little effort. Granted you may not want to play this flute in an orchestra setting with extremely rigid tuning requirements, it has a very special voice absolutely worth being heard in smaller ensembles such as harp, other flutes, strings, etc. It’s possible a modern headjoint would further bring up the pitch to 440 or beyond. I play one of these myself and have no problem with tuning with others. Repaired crack in headjoint which seals perfectly. Open holes, offset G, split E mechanism, C footjoint. I can recommend a few options. Once of a lifetime chance at a vintage Haynes with these specs!

Temporary sale price This Trevor James Cantabile flute has a. 925 solid sterling silver headjoint and a silver plated nickel-silver body with plated keys and mechanism. Offset G, split e, closed holes, c foot. I have enjoyed it as is but would want it serviced before I brought it on stage. Overall it is in nice condition with normal signs of wear- mild tarnish, scratches from polishing and use, areas of plating wear. I did try to capture this in photos, zooming in will make the details more apparent. The silver headjoint has also been a nice addition to other flutes. It is slightly larger than some of mine, I have mostly used it with a vintage Haynes. Please note this is listed across multiple platforms and will be first come first serve. I do review all platform listings often to avoid multiple sales on the same item. If you’d like to know more, want additional pictures, demos, etc. Feel free to check out my other flute listings as well.

After play-testing this piccolo further we noticed a small blemish on one of the thumb key toneholes that we do not have the time to fix at the moment. There is also a little bit of lateral (side-to-side) play in the thumb key that could use a little swedging to be perfect. This lovely piccolo is a FANTASTIC player with a rich low D and sweet upper registers with minimal effort. There are light signs of use (some plating wear on the bottom of the headjoint ring and some super light scratches here and there on a few keys) but nothing out of the ordinary. The pads are in great shape and this piccolo is a great player! All photos are of actual items available for sale. Additional photos always available on request. Trying to clear up old inventory.

Philipp Hammig Handmade Wood Piccolo Model 650/2 Serial # 12706. Made from aged African Grenadilla wood with silver-plated keys. The model 650/2 also comes with a split E mechanism. This piccolo also comes with three handcut headjoints. This is an excellent example of a high-end handmade professional piccolo. It is in superb condition and has had limited use. There are no cracks, dings or checks to be found anywhere in the wood and the mechanism is free moving and blemish free. The instrument has a warm sound and facile response. Top octave is stable and dependable. Pitch is consistent throughout all 3 octaves at forte and pianissimo. It has the Hammig scale at A=442 and is easily tunable within a range both slightly below and above that pitch. The three headjoints are all excellent and each has its own unique playing characteristics. This offers a wide variety of musical and performance choices. Headjoints are as follows. Silver Headjoint is strong and bright and is also great when playing in a colder environment. Traditional Hammig wood headjoint is dark and sweet sounding with good projection. Wave style with thinned wood tube and raised lip-plate is very focused and clear sounding. The piccolo has Straubinger pads and was serviced recently in preparation for sale. It comes with two cases; the original Hammig leather case which carries one headjoint and a student level case that will carry the piccolo with all three heads. It may also benefit from an adjustment in 6 months or so after the pads, corks and wood react to general humidity and climate in their new home locale. Feel free to ask questions.
