Yamaha YFL-587HCT/LPGP 500 Series Professional Flute - Gold Lip Plate

Yamaha YFL-587HCT/LPGP 500 Series Professional Flute - Gold Lip Plate

Inheriting the many merits of top-of-the-line Yamaha handmade flutes, this model offers rich, nuanced tonality over a wide dynamic range. The 500 series combines the brilliance of nickel silver with the characteristic mellow timbres of sterling silver. This model comes with a hand-finished headjoint based on the Type A headjoints supplied with the 800 and 900 series handmade flutes. The keys feature traditional pointed key arms, reflecting the highest level of craftsmanship and adding visual elegance to these outstanding instruments.

500 Series

Yamaha 500 Series Flutes feature a sterling silver headjoint, stainless steel springs; silver-plated, nickel-silver body, footjoint and keys; and French-style pad cups and arms.

Hand-finished Headjoint

Based on the Handmade Flute’s Type A design which offers a wider expressive range, the hand-finished headjoint on Yamaha professional flutes additionally offers easier response and excellent balance over the instrument’s entire range.

Acoustic Annealing

The headjoint, body and footjoint of all professional flutes are heat treated through an annealing process that allows the instrument to vibrate more freely, providing optimal response and beautiful resonance.

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. Performances will feel effortless and natural.

Pointed Key Arms

A#, F# and other non-fingered keys feature pointed key arms, similar to those found on Handmade Flutes. Their beautiful designs are inspired by traditional European styling.

Case

The compact case provides ease of transport and excellent protection from damage. All Yamaha professional flutes come with an elegantly designed case cover.
