The Yamaha YFL‑617 is a professional, concert-level flute within Yamaha’s 600 Series. It inherits many performance features and tonal qualities from Yamaha’s handmade flutes. Combining a sterling silver body and Type AM headjoint (inspired by the 800 and 900 series handmade models) with artisanal key craftsmanship, the YFL‑617 delivers a rich, nuanced tone across a wide dynamic range. Its materials and design result in excellent resonance, expressivity, and projection.
