500 series professional flutes, Ring keys, In-line, Drawn & curled
Features
EC Headjoint
All Professional series flutes come with the EC headjoint, which features high chimney walls and a unique undercut designed to perfectly complement the Type 4 scale. The EC is characterised by tonal resonance and a comfortable, natural-feeling playability.
New Scale
The unique Type 4 Scale gives you accurately centered notes, with the optimum amount of air resistance for tonal flexibility. These flutes do not create a tone for you; they give you the freedom to colour your own sound.
High Quality Pads
Yamaha's pads resist dehydration or swelling, while the double bladder covering helps ensure perfect seating. All Professional flutes are carefully seasoned for long-lasting adjustment.
Key Design
The Keys are hand-assembled and meticulously balanced for a perfect touch. And the key shapes have been so exquisitely designed and ergonomically placed that the flute will almost ‘disappear' in your hands. Perfomances will feel effortlessly natural.
