BEAUTIFUL YAMAHA YFL-684 SOLID SILVER OPEN-HOLE FLUTE WITH C-FOOTThis is a superb opportunity to acquire one of Yamaha's most sought-after models. The 684 is from Yamaha's professional range and has recently been discontinued. The head and body is solid silver throughout, the keys and mechanism are silver-plated with french pointed key arms and drawn tone-holes. A firm favourite with wind doublers and quite often mixed with a bespoke headjoint, this is a high quality professional model, made when the standard of Yamaha models was at its best.The 684 model was made with Yamaha's new type-4 scale which has more accurately centered notes. The body is very well constructed and the mechanism light and accurate with white gold springs. This particular flute also benefits from the EC headjoint cut which features a slightly higher chimney wall (riser) and a more vertical cutaway to the lip plate. It therefore has an immediacy of sound which is crisp as well as firm and well rounded. It is easy to play and allows the player flexibility to add their own tonal colour to the sound.5% DISCOUNT OFFERED - Please contact me for details below....Condition of this flute is superb throughout, the silver is in beautiful condition, pads have plenty of life and it has been fully serviced ready to go. It plays very nicely and cleanly and this is a lot of flute for the money. Due to prices of Yamaha models increasing with changing exchange rates, the 684 particularly has increased steadily in price and is one of the most sought-after professional models.Currently the flute is with my repairer in Manchester and if you are unable to try then I offer a full return policy. If after purchase and trying the flute for a week, you decide that it is not for you then you can return it for a full refund minus the postage costs already paid. Feel free to contact me for advice and assistance on 07939 014248.
