HANDMADE YAMAHA YFL-81 SOLID SILVER OPEN-HOLE FLUTE WITH SOLDERED TONE HOLES, INLINE G AND C-FOOT
This is a rare opportunity to acquire one of Yamaha’s flagship older professional models. The Yamaha Yfl-81 solid silver open hole flute was introduced in 1975, only a couple of years after their production of flutes and it is exquisitely constructed to the highest standard. It was at the very top of Yamaha’s professional range and was handmade. The head and body are solid silver, the keys and mechanism are also solid silver with French pointed key arms and soldered tone-holes. The detail in the construction of this beautiful flute is apparent when you study it with engravings made on the collar (see pics).
This Yamaha Yfl-81 flute has soldered tone holes, inline G and C footjoint. It also has the classic Yamaha professional cut of the time, which is responsive, full and well rounded with excellent projection.
Condition of this flute is superb throughout. The pads have been replaced, the mechanism serviced and it is in perfect playing order. This is a high-level model that can be played as is or with a modern bespoke head if preferred and will give everything that a top class flute will offer. It comes with solid silver end caps for head and body tenon, hard case and soft carrycase.
