A Yamaha Flute Inspired by the Brand's Artisanal Expertise
The Yamaha 500, 600, and 700 series were developed to establish a new standard of musicality and precision. Inspired by the brand's handmade silver and gold alloy flutes, they benefit from a high level of craftsmanship and collaboration with renowned international flutists. The result: a transverse flute designed to offer a remarkable balance between ease of playing, control finesse, and expressive potential.
For Which Flutist and Styles?
This C flute is aimed at intermediate to advanced musicians seeking a reliable and highly musical instrument to progress in conservatory, wind orchestra, or chamber music settings. Its versatile character suits both the classical repertoire and contemporary music, with a response precise enough to work on articulation, dynamics, and intonation across all registers.
Sound and Design
Thanks to its headjoint, body, and footjoint in solid silver, the flute offers a rich timbre, strong presence, and excellent carrying power in ensemble settings. The drawn and rolled tone holes promote a broad and bright sound with smooth and even emission. The thicker tube provides a more centered sound and better breath resistance, appreciated for shaping tone color and stabilizing dynamics. Finally, the Straubinger Phoenix pads contribute to precise sealing for quick response and a clear timbre.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
For daily maintenance, you can complement the equipment with a microfiber cleaning swab for transverse flute (in addition to the provided cleaning rod) and a lint-free cloth to preserve the shine of the silver parts. A pad cleaner can also help maintain clean and consistent pad closure after playing.
