Yamaha YFL-874HW Handmade Wood Flute

Aesthetics Meet High-Level Craftsmanship With The Yamaha YFL-874HW Wood Flute

The Yamaha YFL-874HW wood flute is designed to have the contemporary sound demanded by today's players to go along with the traditional look and feel of wood. Aesthetically stunning, the in-line handcrafted YFL-87H4W offers a beautifully warm, rich tone thanks in part to the grenadilla wooden body. But, thanks to the design and skill of Yamaha's flute artisans, the YFL-874HW easily delivers all the projecting power of their silver flutes - making this an instrument suitable not just for solo and chamber music, but also well-equipped for symphony and philharmonic orchestra performances.

• Wood EC cut headjoint - The grenadilla wood EC cut headjoint is interchangeable with a silver flute
• Grenadilla Wood Body - The wood body is cured to prevent cracking with the same process used for oboes and clarinets
• Undercut Embouchure Hole - Sensitive response and accurate articulation.
• White Gold Springs - Light touch and optimum response
• Tapered pivot screws - Accurate adjustment and smooth action
• Gizmo Key - Easy and accurate fingering to facilitate high C
• Exclusive "Type-4" Body Design
  • These flutes were designed to maintain a focused tone core in every range, at any dynamic and in any hall
  • They feature an entirely new scale for accurate intonation in all registers and an innovative tone hole design to provide precisely the right amount of air resistance for excellent tone color flexibility
