Hand-finished sterling silver construction





Modeled after the Yamaha handmade flute’s Type A design, the YFL-687H’s Type Am headjoint allows players to produce a colorful tone with a wide dynamic range while providing slightly more resistance and easier response. The flute's headjoint, body, footjoint, and lip plate are carefully crafted from sterling silver for a light, pure sound. Additionally, to provide an optimal balance between the parts of the YFL-687H, Yamaha increased its wall thickness from 0.38mm to 0.43mm.





Straubinger Phoenix pads for optimal response





The Yamaha YFL-687H’s hand-assembled keys are fitted with Straubinger Phoenix pads, which are resistant to environmental changes while also boasting a clear response and superior resonance. Plus, Straubinger Phoenix pads exhibit a light touch, inviting you to glide over the keys smoothly and rapidly. Speaking of keys, the Yamaha YFL-687H’s hand-assembled silver-plated keys are ergonomically balanced to offer you an organic, effortless feel. Flutists at Sweetwater agree: the Yamaha YFL-687H seemingly disappears in your hands, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in a performance.
