However, during the Golden Age (1950's and 1960's), fewer flutes were made than in the 70's, and extra attention was given to detail. See below the number of flutes made per year at Haynes (all were handmade, including the commercial model): 1950's-1960's - 500 - 600 flutes per year 1970's - 900 - 1000 flutes per year Presently, no more than 110 handmade Haynes flutes are made per year.
