Yamaha YFL-787H Professional Flute (In-line G) - B Footjoint with Gizmo Key
YFL787H
YFL-787H
Inheriting the many merits of top-of-the-line Yamaha handmade flutes with the characteristic mellow timbres of sterling silver, the 787H offers rich, nuanced tonality over a wide dynamic range. The 787H also has 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 this outstanding instrument.
700 Series Highlights:
0.43mm Wall Thickness (600/700)
0.43mm wall thickness is now a standard feature on 600 and 700 series flutes. Combined with the new hand-finished headjoint and the Straubinger Phoenix™ Pads, the increased wall thickness provides excellent balance, and a warm, beautiful sound.
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 Yamaha 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.
Straubinger Phoenix™ Pads (YFL-600/700)
Straubinger Phoenix™ Pads offer the same concept as the Straubinger™ Pads on Yamaha Handmade Flutes, and have a more suitable design for the 600/700 series. The pads allow the player to play with a softer touch while providing a more precise and consistent seal, superior response, wide dynamic range and longer life in regards to adjustment.
Case
The compact case provides ease of transport and excellent protection from damage. All Yamaha professional flutes come with an elegantly designed case cover.
Material Combination for Yamaha Professional Flutes
*All models are silver-plated.
YFL-787H Model Features:
Headjoint Type AM
Based on the Handmade Flute’s Type A
design, which offers a wider expressive
range, the Type Am headjoint additionally
offers easier response and excellent balance
over the instrument’s entire range, lightly
heavier resistance, and a wide.
Ring (French) Keys
Covered (or Plateau) keys are easy to use. The pad cup is covered so it will seal the tonehole any time the key is closed. This is common with beginners or others who may not always press the center of the key. Many advanced players prefer the open feel of Ring keys for subtle control of their tone. Intermediate and Standard model French system flutes come with key plugs to seal the hole until players have become adept at covering the holes with their fingers.
In-line G
Many players find the Offset G configuration easier to play. Often teachers recommend that beginners start on these flutes, while more and more advanced players are also choosing this natural feeling configuration. Many advanced students and professionals, though, still prefer the traditional In-line formation where all the toneholes are in a straight row.
B Footjoint
The B footjoint lowers the instrument’s lowest note to B while also producing a slightly different tone because of its extra length. Some players choose the B footjoint solely for its tone. The C type joint sound brighter, while the B joint has a darker, more lustrous tone. * The B footjoint is distinguished by “H” in the model number.
Gizmo Key
The B footjoint also features a gizmo key that allows the low B Tone Holes to be closed independently, improving pitch stability in the high register.
