Hi Marie,
Betty is a 'seasoned citizen' indeed.
Quite a few people play on antique, or even just older flutes which were made by some of the masters of flutemaking. A flute that Verne Q. Powell made himself inthe 60's, or a vintage Haynes, or even an original Louis Lot can be a real treasure.
Modern flutemaking and newer scale designs do make a difference, though. Also, many new techniques in headjoint making have been taken advantage of, and the newer flutes are usually easier to play well.
I remember that the Armstrong Heritage flutes were made by a well known master craftsman- who was it, guys, and what era?
My Yamaha 800 series was made in 1998, and took a LONG time to sell before I bought it on eBay. It has a C-footjoint, so it was likely overlooked by B-foot snobs in this country. To be fair, it also had an unintentionally asymmetric embouchure hole, making the headjoint just OK, so I had to replace that before she really began to sing.
I'll have to find out when my piccolo was made- actually both of them- I have a solid silver 'CSS' Gemeinhardt (whose model number was long ago replaced) and a Zentner wood picc, which is no longer made.

Thanks so much for the feed back. http://www.americanfluteguild.com/articles/editorial.html
The link above had some great info.
As a guitar player I know how people can draw conclusions on a certain make or model of instruments before playing, I'm guilty of it . I am not saying that you are drawing a blind conclusion about a instrument or maker, and am not bashing your personal opinion of a single instrument. But I think you are making a conclusion on every flute that Haynes-Schwelm Co made buy your experiences with a few models/flutes. Again I am not bashing you, but is it possible that a few models they made, or a few instruments were of the fine quality as the Haynes flute? They were some of the same people that made the WSH flutes.
I was so taken back when I contacted the 'W.S. Haynes' people. They actually sounded offended that I would call their company about a H-S flute.'I guess I was too stupid to know better' It's part of their history for crying out loud. Anyway I have contacted many companies, some mass producers, and some private, but I have never been treated like I was by the Haynes Co. They are rude.... unless you have money to spend with them.
Again thanks for the feed back, and remember some of the best sounds can come from a cheap piece of junk.
