Yamaha Head Joint - Type 'Am' - Gold Plated Lip Plate
The full sterling silver Yamaha Type 'Am' flute head joint is from their 500, 600 and 700 series flutes and is made of Sterling Silver (.925).
The Am type design enables the flutist to produce an easy yet colorful sound and still play using a wide dynamic range. It is a perfect choice for who is playing a Yamaha 200, 300 of 400 series flute and looking for an upgrade without the need to buy a complete new instrument.
The gold plating on the lip plate, riser, crown and interior has a substantial and very positive effect on the sonics of the headjoint and therefore on the entire flute. The resulting sonority is large with extra robustness and a much more interesting tone palette.

About Yamaha Headjoints
Yamaha is the world's largest and probably most well-known manufacturer of musical instruments. It is part of a large industrial conglomerate that makes a very diverse range of products, including motorbikes and electronics. However, Yamaha was founded in 1887 as an organ- and piano manufacturer by Torakusu Yamaha, and the origin of Yamaha is still visible in the logo, which consists of three tuning forks.
Due to the enormous size of the company, it is possible for Yamaha to continuously invest big in research, development and new production techniques. As a result, we see that each Yamaha instrument, from student model to the most exclusive instruments is of excellent, uniform quality, and keeps its value very well. For years, Yamaha has set the quality standard for many wind instruments.
