Yamaha Alto Flute - YFL A 421 II
Yamaha alto flutes have reached a new standard in harmony flute design. Yamaha´s unique expertise with the various alloys used in brass instruments has 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. The gold-brass gives a rich, colorful sound, and the flute is much more comfortable to hold and play than traditional alto flutes, being considerably lighter.
Features of the Yamaha A 421 Alto Flute are:
- Gold-brass headjoint, body & footjoint
- Clear lacquer finish
- Sterling silver lip plate and riser
- Silver-plated keys
- Yamaha DeLuxe case and case cover with cleaning articles
