Each flute is handmade to reflect Wm. S. Haynes’ classic design, unique timbre and response, and features only soldered toneholesThe original way of making a flute, the “chimney” of the hole is soldered on by hand. These toneholes are heavier than drawn toneholes, and produce a slightly darker tone and have increased resistance. The soldering process puts less stress on the flute, but requires more production time and handwork..
