Product code: YFL517 | ID: 222374
Professional flute with offset G key system from 500 series that offers a rich, nuanced tonality over a wide dynamic range and has inherited the many merits of top-of-the-line Yamaha handmade flutes. It combines the brightness of nickel silver on body, footjoint and keys with the characteristic mellow timbres of sterling silver headjoint and lip plate. Based on the Handmade Flute’s Type A design from Yamaha’s 900 and 800 series which offers a wider expressive range, the Type Am headjoint additionally offers easier response and excellent balance over the instrument’s entire range, slightly heavier resistance, and a wide dynamic range. A special sound annealing process delivers more pure transmission of vibration from the player to the flute for rich resonance and superior response. The keys are hand-assembled and meticulously balanced for a perfect touch, and the key shapes have been so exquisitely designed and ergonomically placed that the flute will almost ‘disappear’ in player’s hands. Performances will feel effortlessly natural. A#, F# and other non-fingered keys feature pointed key arms with beautiful designs inspired by traditional European styling. Other features include an E mechanism, covered keys and drawn and curled tone holes. The flute is supplied with compact, durable case for easy travel and protection of the instrument that is accompanied by a sophisticated case cover.
