The William S. Haynes Classic Weissman Q2 is a professional C flute from the Haynes Q Series, a line built for serious flutists who want the Haynes tonal tradition in a more accessible production platform than a fully custom handmade Haynes flute. The Q2 is respected for combining a handmade Classic headjoint with a solid silver body, giving advancing and professional players a responsive instrument with the tonal flexibility expected from an upper-level Haynes flute.

Common Questions About the William S. Haynes Weissman Model
How does the Q2 fit within the Haynes Q Series?
The Q2 sits above the Q1 by adding a solid silver body while retaining a silver-plated mechanism, ribs, and posts. It remains below the Q3 and Q4 models, which add higher-level construction features within the Haynes Q Series.
What does the handmade Classic headjoint contribute?
The Haynes Classic headjoint is designed for a centered, flexible response that suits players who need control across solo, chamber, and ensemble settings. It is one of the defining features of the Q2 platform.
Why choose open-hole keywork on a professional flute?
Open-hole French-style keywork gives advanced flutists direct tactile contact with the keys and supports extended techniques, alternate fingerings, and refined hand position. The included plugs allow the player to cover selected holes when desired.
