1silver tubes are placed one within the other, with an eighth of an inch air space between which provides a thermos. This with the Haynes patented vents make it possible to warm the entire instrument evenly from mouthpiece to bell with a few light breaths. The clarinet then stays warm through an entire performance, which makes a better intonation. The inner tube of the barrel joint telescopes over the inner tube of the clarinet so it may be drawn out to lower the pitch without leaving a gap, and thus acts as a tuning slide. Nearly three hundred of these self-advertised clarinets have been sold, many being in the hands of the finest artists such as:
3Two Washington Marine Band solo players.
4All the Metropolitan Orchestra clarinet players.
5The first clarinet of the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra.
6Van Amburgh of the Barrère Little Symphony of New York.
8Besides being one of the pioneers in metal flute making William S. Haynes invented a device for making drawn tone holes integral with the tube forming the body of the flute.
10Many flute clubs all over the United States use the Wm. S. Haynes flute. Dr. Dayton C. Miller, the first scientist to experiment with platinum, proved that the denser the metal the better the instrument's tone. George Barrère, first great professional player to use a Wm. S. Haynes gold flute exclusively, has just had a platinum flute made to order "90% platinum, 10% iridium, a combination used for the finest jewelry, rating 21.6 in density," 1 costing $3000. Tests made with this new instrument seem to corroborate Dr. Miller's finding.
12Some of the other artists using Haynes instruments are:
14John Amans New York Philharmonic Orchestra (solid gold)
15John Wummer Detroit Symphony Orchestra.
16Julius Furman First Flute, Los Angeles Symphony.
17Anthony Linden Solo Flute, Los Angeles.
18Domenico Iascone First Flute, Symphony Orchestra, Washington, D. C.
19Clayton Lindsay Solo Flute, Washington Marine Band.
20Walter Whitaker First Flute, D'Oyly Carte Opera Co., and teacher Conservatory of Music, Toronto, Canada.
21Fortunate Covone Gold Flute user, First Flute, Chicago Opera.
22Daniel Maquarre First Flute, Monte Carlo Casino, Monaco.
