The first breath of air that touches the flute establishes the relationship between the player and their music. This is the beginning of a partnership that should bring soaring joy, profound passion, and lasting artistic satisfaction. The subtlest of nuances in a headjoint can affect the delicate balance of sound, response and projection that every headjoint maker strives to achieve.
The master headjoint makers at Haynes are highly trained flutists, who have the focus and tenacity required to handcraft every Haynes headjoint into an architype of the Haynes sound. This is not a task for the faint-hearted. The end results are artistically stimulating headjoints which offer flutists color, response, depth, imagination and vibrancy.
The S Cut headjoint is named after Stanhope Street, the home of the Haynes Brothers in the late 1890s. This headjoint aims to bring all of the depth and brilliance associated with our P and N Cut headjoints to a wider audience.
A larger target, an easier response, putting fewer demands on the player while multiplying possibilities in color, projection, dynamics and articulation.
A welcoming resonance, an approachable sophistication, creating the opportunity for more and more people to enjoy the Haynes Sound.
