The following features distinguishes the Yamaha YFL 272 SL flute from other models:
Sterling Silver (.925) lip plate and riser
The YFL 272 SL only differs from the normal 272 by the lip plate and riser, which is made of sterling silver (92.5% silver) on the SL (Silver Lip-plate). The lip plate has a relatively big influence on the sound of a flute and because sterling silver has a greater density than nickel-silver, it gives the flute a more expressive sound.
Open Keys
Advanced players often prefer open key holes, as these offer more subtle control and flexibility of tone.
Split E-Mechanism
The high E is one of the toughest notes to play on a flute. The E mechanism of the Yamaha YFL 272 SL flute gives more stability and improves intonation and response of high E.
Offset G
The G key is placed slightly to the left, resulting in a more natural placement of the fingers for most people. Often teachers recommend that beginners start on a flute with an offset G configuration because it tends to play easier.
CY Headjoint
The CY headjoint offers excellent response and a rich, warm tone because of the double flare taper and a unique embouchure hole undercut design. The headjoint of the Yamaha YFL 272 SL flute helps novice players to form a good sound quickly. Also the more experienced players will appreciate this head-joint, because of the quick response in both high and low registers.
