The quality of the musical instrument you learn on can have a huge impact on how your playing develops and how motivated you are to continue learning. This is especially true for brass and woodwind instruments. We've worked hard to ensure every Yamaha student flute model avoids the pitfalls of cheaper instruments – which so often perform inconsistently and unpredictably leading to students having to 'fight' with their instrument which hinders their progress.
Our Custom and Professional grade flutes have earned a reputation for exceptional quality, design, performance and consistency, thanks to the craftsmanship of our brass and woodwind workshops.
Our Student models inherit many of the same hallmarks – but, to aid new flautists, our Student flutes are designed and shaped to encourage best-technique, as well as offering superb playability. For instance, we've designed the lip plate to guide beginners toward proper breath utilisation and keys with extensively tested dimensions and angles for optimum balance and easy playability. These and other details are some of the reasons why our Student flutes have become bestsellers worldwide.
The YFL-212 features covered keys, an offset G key and has a Split-E mechanism. This edition has a solid silver lip plate.
