Yamaha YFL312 Flute

Yamaha YFL‑312 Flute (Intermediate, C Footjoint, Closed Hole)

Superior Build & Craftsmanship

• Designed as a step up from the popular YFL‑311 model, the YFL‑312 delivers refined construction and improved precision with pointed ("French") key arms and newly optimised pad cups for an even seal and longer durability.

• The STERLING SILVER headjoint (Type CY) produces warm, rich tonal colour with excellent projection; the solid lip plate helps players control their embouchure and airflow efficiently.

Playability & Responsiveness
