Inheriting the many merits of top-of-the-line Yamaha handmade flutes, the YFL-687 model offers rich, nuanced tonality over a wide dynamic range. It combines the brillance of nickel-silver with the characteristic mellow timbres of sterling silver. This model comes with a hand-finished headjoint based on the Type A headjoints supplied with the 800 and 900 series handmade flutes. It delivers a wider expressive range, easier response and excellent balance over the instruments's entire range. The keys feature traditional pointed key arms, reflecting the highest level of craftsmanship and adding visual elegance to this outstanding instrument.
The YFL-687 uses Straubinger "Phoenix" pads, that offer the same concept as the traditional Straubinger pads supplied with Yamaha handmade flutes, and have more suitable design for this model. Those pads allow the musician to play with a softer touch while providing a more accurate and consistent seal, superior response, wide dynamic range and longer life in regards to adjustments.
Taking what was mentioned before into account , this professional flute is just great, and especially at this price. If, after six or seven years of playing your student flute, you should be in the market for a more performing sterling silver instrument, this YFL-687 is made for you and will delight you for many years to come!
