The 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.

With the Haynes scale, ergonomic closed-hole keywork with pointed French key arms, C footjoint and that Haynes signature sound, this flute is unmistakably Haynes, right from the first note. The AF480 Series is another welcome addition to our line of instruments that proudly carry the Haynes monogram.

The AF480 Series Flutes are designed to surpass expectations and to cause a stir in the flute-playing world.
