Eastman has been making Flutes for a few years now. They opened up the Amadeus Line of flutes, that a Chinese made body, with a Haynes Headjoint, and adjusted at a US factory. They're actually really nice flutes, I played one next to a Altus, and liked the Amadeus more. It's not as good as their Haynes Q models, but they're a great intermittent model.
I've also played a couple of Eastman violins and violas. They were all great as well. The college where I was teaching bought a few for the majors to use while they were there, and I would sometimes borrow them for gigs. I played a few gigs on viola alongside some of the area symphony players, and blended extremely well.
If you look up when Amadeus started making flutes, that should tell you when they acquired Haynes.
