Yamaha YFL472 Flute

The Yamaha YFL-472 is a high-quality intermediate flute designed to support progressing players with professional-grade features and a rich, expressive sound. Ideal for advancing students or intermediate performers, it combines Yamaha’s trusted craftsmanship with materials and mechanics that deliver exceptional tone, response, and playability.

Core Features & Tone Quality

• Sterling Silver Headjoint, Body & Footjoint: The fully sterling silver construction (headjoint, body, and footjoint) produces a warm, resonant, and projecting tone that responds evenly across the instrument’s range. 

• Yamaha CY Headjoint: Specially designed to promote proper breath support and offer quick, even response with a characteristically warm and rich sound.

• Open Ring (French) Keys with Pointed Arms: Ergonomic, French-style open holes and aesthetically refined pointed key arms enhance technique development and control. 

• Offset G & Split-E Mechanism: An offset G configuration and split-E mechanism improve comfort, ergonomic playability, and accuracy — especially in the higher register.

• Ergonomic Design: Key placement and mechanics are finely balanced to support natural hand positions and ease of play for longer practice or performance sessions.

Included Accessories
Typical package includes a protective hard case with padded gig bag, cleaning rod and cloth, and a warranty, giving you everything needed to care for the flute and transport it safely.

Why It’s a Great Choice
The YFL-472 sits comfortably between Yamaha’s student and professional models — offering many of the features found in higher-end flutes at a more accessible price. Its sterling silver construction and refined mechanics make it an excellent long-term instrument for players advancing toward more demanding repertoire and performance settings.
