That is NOT a Haynes in anyway!

as a player of a REAL Haynes, I found that both amusing and offensive, I complained to the guy who is selling it...claims he worked for Haynes...Allen at Haynes would probably know..

His reasoning for creating the brand "DC Pro" is humorous too....Apparently there was a big need for another open hole flute of dubious quality on the market.

I did call the Haynes Co myself to alert them and they will be contacting him. They have no records of any Dominc ever working for them.

* DC PRO IS MY OWN BRAND THAT I DESIGNED MYSELF
* AND HAD MADE FOR ME, WITH MY SPECS..

This pretty much tells you what the deal is.

He had come company in China most likely make him a Haynes "clone" for a few hundred dollars and is passing it off as something decent. Ship an old Haynes to China and have them make a high quality clone(well for China at least). It probably plays about as well as a typical student model. Too bad he isn't charging the $300 it costs to actually make.

If he was that skilled, he'd start his own company. Making a flute isn't impossible for someone who supposedly worked at a major company in the past.

I got my daily bit of entertainment Thanks.

not grinding my teeth, just beating my chest and jumping around my cage throwing banana peels around

argGHHHH!!!!
What is this world coming to?

I am good at emressions

ah yes, empressions, I am good at those too...

I have an old sterling M-80 Armstrong Flute, The M stands for Muramatsu, right? I was told that when I paid 9000.00 for it...





(Just kidding folks, come on....you know me better than that!)

It could stand for Miyazawa too. If it isn't gold though it sucks. *Grins*

I have an S-80, S for Simba

My flute has the hum bucker pickups on it...great sounding Les Paul Flute...or is that I hum and pucker to make it sound better for Les and Paul? I forget...Either way, for 9K I got a deal! :-P

Looks like that same add it still up. I guess the Haynes company didn't contact him. Judging from his other ads, I would not trust the guy personally.
