YAMAHA YFL-212SL Silver-plated Flute

YAMAHA YFL-212SL Silver-plated Flute, with case

Tone Holes

The walls are drawn upward from the body material, giving the flute a broad, light sound.

Keys

Plateau keys are easy to use. The pad cup is closed, ensuring the tone hole seals completely when the key is closed. This is common for beginners who may not always press the center of the key.

Tuning Configurations

Many advanced players prefer open-hole keys for subtle tone control. French-style flutes with intermediate and standard systems are available with plugged keys to help players seal the holes until they become proficient at covering them with their fingers.

Tuning System

Offset G is easier for many players to handle and is often recommended for beginners. Advanced players may prefer this natural configuration, while others stick to the traditional in-line formation where all tone holes are aligned in a straight row.

Split E Mechanism

This key increases stability and improves the intonation of high E.

B-Footjoint

The B-footjoint allows the player to play half a step lower than the C-footjoint and provides a darker, more powerful sound with good projection, while the C-footjoint offers a warmer, more flexible tone.

Each flute is customized individually to meet customer needs.
