The Amadeus Difference:

The AF780 features a hand-cut Amadeus headjoint designed to provide exceptional playability with a rich, clear tone and stable foundation. Each Amadeus flute begins its journey at the Haynes Beijing workshop, where skilled craftspeople build the instrument to exacting standards. It then travels to the master flute makers in Acton, Massachusetts, where it receives its final finishing and quality inspection to ensure it meets the legendary Haynes standard.

This flute delivers the characteristic purity of tone that Haynes is renowned for worldwide - "that sound" sought after by discriminating flutists. The solid sterling silver construction provides warmth, depth, and exceptional tonal colors across all registers. With drawn tone holes, French pointed key arms, and professional-level features throughout, the AF780 offers agility, durability, and the wide range of expression expected from a Haynes instrument.

Perfect for advancing students, returning players, serious amateurs, or professionals seeking a reliable backup instrument with that unmistakable Haynes quality.
