The Yamaha Handmade YFL-874 Series Flute gives a warm natural sound of Fine Grenadilla Wood. It also delivers all the carrying power of a silver flute, which means that Yamaha Handmade wooden flutes are suitable not just for solo and chamber music but also for use in the modern symphony orchestra.

Their remarkable tonal projection is the result of combining the state-of-the-art Type 4 Scale with Yamaha's unique EC Headjoint and of their Specially Designed Toneholes, which are the same size as on metal flutes.

Instrument Features:

African Grenadilla: The lip plate and headjoint body are sculpted out of a single piece of fine African grenadilla for a pure, natural resonance. The surface of the lip plate is extremely comfortable and provides secure control.

A Silver Tenon Inside: A silver tenon fits the headjoint into the body, just as with a silver flute. This adds focus to the sound. It also helps to considerably reduce the weight of the flute. A similar silver tenon inside the footjoint connector reduces weight and prevents cracking. It also adds tonal body for improved projection.

Tone holes: The tone holes are precision-crafted of inset grenadilla which allows wider sized holes like those of metal flutes. This is another factor contributing to the flute's accurate intonation and tonal clarity.

B Footjoint: All Yamaha Handmade Wooden flutes are available with a B footjoint.
