The New Amadeus Headjoint

Haynes listens. 

We listen to the compliments and praise we receive from the eminent professional playing our handmade flutes, to the beginner flutist starting out on their journey. 

We listened to our international network of dedicated flute teachers and specialist flute dealers who challenged us to improve the cut and design of the Amadeus headjoint. 

Based on our Custom N Cut headjoint - a creation from our Master Headjoint Maker and Haynes President, Aiven O’Leary - the new Amadeus headjoint delivers ease of use, room for growth, and the potential for richness and sophistication from the very first note. 

A true introduction to the Haynes Sound - where brilliance meets depth and projection.

Start. Right.

New for 2024. The Amadeus 480.

For over a century, owning a Haynes flute was a dream available only to those who could afford a professional instrument.
