Featuring a hand-cut sterling silver headjoint, the Yamaha 400 series flute offers a range of tonal colors and clarity of articulation well-suited to the advancing student flutist. Combined with a sterling silver body, silver-plated mechanism, open holes, B footjoint, pointed key arms, drawn tone holes, and choice of inline (YFL-482) or offset (YFL-462) G key, this flute stands in a class of its own. Each flute may be further customized with the addition of a gold-plated lip plate to create a truly special instrument.
