Haynes Company—makers of world-class flutes in Boston since 1888—the Amadeus AF780 represents the pinnacle of their step-up line. This instrument marries the historic, deeply colorful Haynes acoustic core with exceptionally precise modern mechanics. Featuring a solid sterling silver headjoint, body, and footjoint, this flute offers a profoundly rich and resonant tone that is ready to elevate your playing to the next level.
This is the instrument for the serious high school student, collegiate non-major, or dedicated doubler.

It delivers the characteristic purity of tone that Haynes is renowned for worldwide.
The "Amadeus AF780" Advantage
- Solid Silver Core: The headjoint, body, and B-footjoint are entirely crafted from solid sterling silver. This massive premium upgrade provides a distinct warmth, depth, and resonance that silver-plated flutes simply cannot replicate.
- The Haynes Headjoint: The heart of this instrument is its headjoint, which is cut to Haynes' exacting specifications. It provides a stable, forgiving foundation for advancing players while still allowing for a massive range of tonal colors and dynamic flexibility.
- Premium Mechanics: Features a highly durable, silver-plated key mechanism with French pointed key arms. This design not only looks highly professional but also ensures the pads seat perfectly and evenly over the drawn tone holes.
- B Footjoint: A required feature for advanced repertoire, the B footjoint extends the flute's lower range down to a low B while adding beneficial weight and acoustic stability to the extreme upper registers.
