Yamaha YFL272 Student Model Flute, Open Hole

Full Description

Designed for Maximum Durability

The body of this student flute has been designed to be robust. Crafted out of nickel silver, the flute is able to produce a clear, rich tone effortlessly. Not only is the YFL272 a high quality, well built instrument, but its plastic hard case with outer case cover is also built to be durable and make sure your instrument is kept in top condition at all times whilst travelling. This model also incorporates thickened key posts for added strength and durability and easily accessible adjustment screws.

Superb Sound

With a double flare taper and unique embouchure hole undercut designed for excellent response and a warm rich tone, the CY headjoint helps beginners quickly learn to produce a beautiful sound. More advanced players will appreciate its even, quick response in all registers. All key shapes and placement have been ergonomically designed for a comfortable, natural-feeling performance. Manufacturing processes have been redesigned from the ground up to achieve substantially improved precision that not only leads to greater mechanical accuracy, but also minimises the need for readjustment over time.

A#, F# and other non-fingered keys feature pointed key arms. This beautiful key design is inspired by traditional European style. Yamaha's unique screw resistance inserts allow smooth adjustments while preventing gradual loosening of the screws. For easier access, the screw positioning has been changed. Footjoint alignment marks facilitate proper fitting by young players.

Everything You Need to Get Started!

Your new flute comes equipped with everything you'll need to start your musical journey. The hard case and soft case cover help to keep your instrument protected during travel.
