Creators of the World's Finest Flutes
Since 1888.

In the Bay Village neighborhood of Boston, with its narrow streets, colonial architecture, glittering gas lanterns, and red brick sidewalks, one building has a small sign in front reading: Wm.S.Haynes Co.   This is the home of the world's foremost maker of artist flutes, and has been for generations.

Master Silversmith William Haynes, the son of a sea captain and a school teacher founded the legendary company that still makes 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.

When you play a Haynes flute,  you join the ranks of some very distinguished world-class flutists,  and follow in the footsteps of such great players as the legendary George Barrere and Jean-Pierre Rampal,  as well as contemporary artists such as Michel, Debost, Claudi Arimany,  Jeanne Baxtresser,  Kathleen Chastain, and Gary Schocker.
