Under the motto "The best student flute now even better", Yamaha presents the 200, 300 and 400 series. The flutes now come in a new design with a pointed lid mechanism, as used in the professional models. The optimised pads ensure better stability and thus contribute to the improved durability of the flutes. The elegant new shape of the key covers gives the flutes a pleasantly comfortable and natural playing feel. Like its predecessor model, the YFL-472 is equipped with an E-mechanism and an advanced G. The headjoint, footjoint and centre joint of the flute are made of sterling silver for a brilliant and radiant sound.In contrast to the YFL-412, the YFL-472 is equipped with ring keys, which provide a fuller sound and even allow quarter tones to be played.The E-mechanism:The E-mechanism is an additional lever. This makes the high E (e3) more precise and easier to play. It prevents the musician from slipping off the note and provides additional playing security. The E mechanism proved its worth and established itself many years ago, especially in the amateur and semi-professional field.The advanced G:The position of the key with which the G is played, known as the advanced G, is now standard on every good flute. This key position adapts the instrument to the ergonomics of the hand and not the other way round. So please make sure that your flute always has an advanced G - your fingers will thank you for it!
The MJ-II series has been completely redeveloped by Miyazawa to offer beginners, amateurs and advanced flutists the opportunity to have fun making music with a high-quality flute.Mr Miyazawa has succeeded in finding a partner in China who can meet the very high standards of the traditional manufacturer. The entire development process for the MJ-II models took place at the Japanese factory. Mr Miyazawa personally supervises the entire production process in the manufacture of the MJ-II models. The perfection and quality of Miyazawa can therefore be found in every instrument.
