BRASS & WOODWINDS




Flutes

  • 900/800 Series

    Inspired to start afresh, we went back to a clean slate applying all of the knowledge, advancements, and skills we’ve obtained over the last two decades crafting some of the finest handmade flutes available today into the design of an entirely new line of handmade instruments. Focusing on innovation, we’ve created some instruments that change the image of the handmade flute significantly. They offer tone with charm and depth, and a wide dynamic range that allows performers to play with a wide range of expression and the tone and volume flutists have long desired. Top-of-the-line handmade gold flutes offer a rich, deep tone with outstanding presence in orchestral settings. Highly responsive with a wide dynamic range that spans from rich, sensitive pianissimo to highly resonant fortissimo they allow the flautist to discover new limits of musical expression. From the finest details to their overall design, every part, process, and component on these handmade silver flutes is designed to function in harmony with the rest.
  • 800W Series

    Handmade wooden flutes are suitable not just for solo and chamber music, but also for use in the modern symphony orchestra. Their remarkable tonal projection is the result of combining the state-of-the-art scale with Yamaha’s unique “Type EW” headjoint, and of their specially designed toneholes – which are the same size as on metal flutes. An “Type HW” headjoint is optionally available.
  • 700/600/500 Series

    A lip plate designed to guide beginners toward proper breath utilization, keys with carefully considered dimensions and angles for optimum balance and easy playability. These and other details are some of the reasons why Yamaha student and intermediate flutes have become bestsellers worldwide. An inimitable blend of leading technology and craftsmanship goes into each and every instrument. New refinements include pointed key arms contributing to elegant visual appeal, and a completely revised key parts manufacturing process that significantly enhances overall precision. The 400, 300, and 200 series models offer various combinations of sterling silver and nickel silver. An extensive lineup makes it easy to choose an ideal first instrument for every player.

  • YFL-A421(U)

    Yamaha’s YFL-A421 is one of the most sought-after alto flutes in the world. It is characterized by an agile response and precise intonation, but its best feature is its warm, beautiful sound. Yamaha’s unique expertise with the various alloys used in brass instruments led to the discovery that gold-brass (brass with a higher than usual copper content) is the perfect material for optimum tone, weight, and playability of an alto flute. The gold-brass gives a rich sound full of tonal colors, and the flute is much more comfortable to hold and play than traditional alto flutes, being considerably lighter.
  • YFL-B441

    The YFL-B441 bass flute is made from gold-brass like the YFL-A421 alto flute and features a similar quick response, rich beautiful tone, and accurate intonation. The bass flutes are often used in flute ensembles and studio recordings, and are increasingly used to play difficult alto solos in the orchestral literature. As with the alto, the gold-brass makes the flute much lighter and easier to hold, while still creating a rich and colorful sound.

    Many children are fascinated by the trombone. It has a strong and pleasing tone which can slide smoothly from note to note, and it’s visually exciting—-it looks fun!

Modern trombones were designed for adults, and many would-be beginners just can’t stretch their arms far enough to play all the slide positions. That’s why we created the Yamaha 350C. This is a full-sized trombone, using the traditional slide positions, but it’s much shorter in length. With its ascending valve, you can play a full scale without using the two farthest positions!
  • YSL-354

    Yamaha standard trombones were designed to make it easier for beginning students to sound good…and as soon as possible. They are produced in Yamaha workshops by highly trained craftspeople with very similar specifications and manufacturing processes as we use on our top of the line models. And every single instrument is stringently test-played and inspected by an expert. This is why some top artists have commented that Yamaha standard models are very close to pro trombones in quality, yet are much easier for beginners to play. The standard models are durable, high quality trombones which offer a perfect entry into the world of music.
