In 1888, Master Silversmith William Haynes, the son of a sea captain and a school teacher, founded this legendary company which continues to make flutes for the world's most prominent soloists, orchestral musicians, chamber musicians, jazz artists, and hobbyists. Now, more than a century after William Haynes set up shop, his company still crafts flutes and piccolos that reflect a passion for excellence.
