An Intermediate Series with Yamaha's "Professional" DNA
With the 400 series, Yamaha offers flutes meticulously hand-adjusted and play-tested by experienced artisans to ensure manufacturing consistency and a steady playing feel. The highlight of this series lies in the choice of materials: the headjoint, body, and footjoint are made from the same 92.5% pure solid silver used in some Yamaha professional models, aiming for a fuller sound and stronger projection.
For Which Flutists and Repertoires?
This Yamaha flute is designed to meet the expectations of intermediate musicians looking to advance in tone, intonation, and comfort, while remaining suitable for advanced (even professional ) players seeking a reliable everyday instrument. Its agile and consistent response makes it comfortable in classical settings (soloist, orchestra, chamber music), as well as in pop, film music, and ensembles where attack precision and projection are crucial.
Sound and Design
The solid silver (headjoint, body, and footjoint) provides a warm and rich color, with better harmonic density and more generous projection. The double tapered bore, combined with a unique inner cut core, promotes responsive sound production and a tone that "speaks" quickly, useful for working on dynamics and stability across the entire range. The drawn and rolled tone holes contribute to a sound described as broad and bright, while maintaining good homogeneity between low, middle, and high registers.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Delivered with a case and cover, as well as a cleaning rod and a cloth, this flute is ready for routine maintenance. To extend the life of the pads and maintain stable mechanics, cleaning after each session (swabbing + wiping) is strongly recommended.
