Product Overview
The YFL-577HCT showcases Yamaha's commitment to professional-level craftsmanship through its hand-finished sterling silver headjoint, based on the acclaimed Type A design found in Yamaha's prestigious 800 and 900 series handmade flutes. This sophisticated headjoint design offers significantly wider expressive range, easier response, and excellent tonal balance throughout the instrument's entire register, providing the musical flexibility that advanced repertoire demands.

This advanced manufacturing technique ensures that every note speaks clearly and projects with the consistency and reliability that professional musicians require.
The meticulously hand-assembled keys feature traditional pointed key arms on A#, F# and other non-fingered keys, reflecting the highest level of craftsmanship while adding visual elegance inspired by traditional European styling. Each key is individually balanced for perfect touch and ergonomic placement, creating an instrument that feels effortless and natural during extended performance.
