The Sir James Galway Edition
Sir James Galway began his professional flute playing career on a Haynes Flute, and has several Haynes Flutes in his amazing collection of instruments. So in 2014 Haynes partnered with the ‘Living Legend of the Flute’ to make a signature edition Q Series instrument made to the master’s exacting standards. Sir James is an advocate of the C# Trill Key, and Low B footjoint, but without E mechanism and Gizmo keys - so naturally, we followed his guidance and produced this specification for the flute that bears his name.
Sir James also enjoyed the flexibility and versatility of the N Cut Custom Headjoint, paired with the more affordable Q2 body with silver plated mechanism. The resulting instrument is a sophisticated, lithe and elegant flute, at a fraction of the price of our silver Custom Flutes.
